## Why delete_channel is rated Critical

Deleting a sales channel is an irreversible operation that removes a significant business configuration from a Shopify store. This cannot be undone and represents permanent data loss, placing it in the Destructive category. Severity is high because misconfigured deletion could impact store operations, though the blast radius is narrower than store-wide data deletion.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_channel' and description states 'Delete a sales channel'. The use of 'Delete' indicates irreversible removal of data."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_channel to permanently remove resources in Shopify Graphql, 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 Shopify Graphql:

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