## Why drive_file_purge is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes files without recovery options, irreversibly destroying data. It requires explicit destructive authorization and bypasses safety mechanisms (trash). The blast radius is critical—an AI agent misusing this could permanently lose important files for users. This is unambiguously a Destructive action (not merely Write), making it the highest severity risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'DESTRUCTIVE. Permanently delete a TRASHED file. Bypasses the trash safety net.' The name 'drive_file_purge' also indicates irreversible deletion."

## Use case

AI agents call drive_file_purge to permanently remove resources in TrekMail 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 TrekMail MCP Server:

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