Returned result

Schema-validated example; IDs and dates are illustrative. MCP returns this data in structuredContent and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

  "contactId": "contact_example",
  "deleted": true
}

Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

Field	Type	Presence	Meaning and constraints
`projectId`	string	Required	project ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200`
`contactId`	string	Required	contact ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200`
`revision`	string	Required	Revision of this saved contact. Supply it as revision when updating or deleting the contact. format: `"uuid"`; pattern: `"^([0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[1-8][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89abAB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}\|00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\|ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff)$"`
`onlyIfUnlinked`	boolean	Required	default: `false`

Validation and omitted values

Deletes the contact at its current opaque revision and removes its link associations. The links remain. A stale revision refuses deletion. onlyIfUnlinked defaults false. Set it true for compensating rollback: it refuses deletion while any link association remains. External sender and source CRM records remain unchanged.

Defaults when omitted

Field	Default
`onlyIfUnlinked`	`false`

Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. Common schema conventions explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

Field	Type	Presence	Meaning and constraints
`contactId`	string	Required	Identifier returned by the related operation. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200`
`deleted`	boolean	Required

Errors and retries

This write is annotated idempotent without a caller-supplied idempotency key. Reconcile saved state after an uncertain response, then use the same inputs for the same intended operation. Do not add an unsupported key. See error recovery for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

HTTP resource routes

This operation has no separate resource alias. Use its generic command route in a matching environment.
