Delete a Shared Drive
AI agents call drive_shared_drive_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.

The critical severity reflects the blast radius of complete organizational storage loss.
