## Why delete_location is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly removes location data from the Sanka system. Deletion cannot be undone and results in permanent data loss. While not directly financial, the loss of location records could have significant business impact (e.g., disrupting operations, losing customer location data).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_location' and description states 'Delete a location in Sanka by location id or external reference.' The verb 'delete' combined with the irreversible nature of removing location records clearly indicates destructive capability."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_location to permanently remove resources in Sanka MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Sanka MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_location"
  ]
}
```
