WHAT IT DOES

What drive_file_trash does on TrekMail MCP Server

AI agents call drive_file_trash 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.

RISK

Why drive_file_trash is rated Critical

Although described as 'soft-delete' (implying recovery possibility), the tool actively deletes files and revokes share-links. This is a destructive action that removes data from normal user access and invalidates sharing permissions. The action cannot be undone by the user through normal means and represents a destructive operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Soft-delete: file moves to trash and active share-links are revoked.' The operation removes files from active use and revokes access controls, which is irreversible without administrative recovery actions.
