Why delete_deployment_tool needs a policy

This tool permanently removes a deployment, which is an irreversible action that destroys data/configuration. While the blast radius is not system-wide (limited to one deployment), the inability to undo the action and potential impact on active scripts that depend on that deployment classifies this as Destructive rather than Write.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_deployment_tool' and description 'Delete a deployment' indicate irreversible removal of a deployment resource. Deployments in Google Apps Script are versioned code artifacts that cannot be recovered once deleted.

POLICY

How to control delete_deployment_tool

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Apps Script MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_deployment_tool:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_deployment_tool"
  ]
}

delete_deployment_tool disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Apps Script MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
