Delete multiple files or folders at once
AI agents call drive_batch_delete to permanently remove resources in Google Drive MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of files is irreversible and cannot be undone. The batch capability amplifies the risk by allowing deletion of multiple items simultaneously, resulting in potential massive data loss. This is the most severe category applicable and warrants critical severity due to the high blast radius of mistaken or malicious bulk deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'drive_batch_delete' and description states 'Delete multiple files or folders at once'. The verb 'delete' combined with batch operation (multiple files) and the irreversible nature of file deletion indicate a destructive action.
