## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_comment",
    "arguments": {}
  }

## Why delete_comment is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly deletes comments and their associated markers from a Word document. Once deleted, the comment and its markers cannot be recovered through normal means. While the blast radius is moderate (comments are typically metadata rather than core document content), the irreversible nature places it in the Destructive category rather than Write.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_comment' and description states 'Delete a comment and remove its range markers from the document.' The use of 'Delete' and 'remove' indicates irreversible removal of data."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_comment to permanently remove resources in Docx, 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 Docx:

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