Delete resource

delete_resource Permanently remove an unused watch, target or project after preview_resource_deletion. Supply its exact confirmation, or omit it on a client that can answer an in-band confirmation request. Execution history and retained shared evidence block deletion. Completed deletion receipts support safe retries.

Name recorded in the 2026-10-17 deployment. This page describes current source; verify inputs and access in your connected catalog. Provider configuration and workspace access still apply.

Access	Behavior
`projects:write`, `watches:write`	Writes or admits work; can change or remove existing state

This operation changes saved state. Review its inputs and retry behavior before calling.

Example request

Connect through MCP, CLI, or HTTP. Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_resource",
    "arguments": {
      "resourceType": "watch",
      "resourceId": "resource_example",
      "confirmation": "delete watch resource_example"
    }
  }
}

agentlinkops call delete_resource --args '{"resourceType":"watch","resourceId":"resource_example","confirmation":"delete watch resource_example"}'

curl --fail-with-body https://app.agentlinkops.com/v1/commands/delete_resource \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"resourceType":"watch","resourceId":"resource_example","confirmation":"delete watch resource_example"}'

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.

{
  "id": "rdel_example",
  "workspace_id": "ws_example",
  "project_id": "pr_example",
  "resource_type": "watch",
  "resource_id": "resource_example",
  "requested_at": "2026-09-13T12:00:00.000Z",
  "requested_by": "user_example",
  "state": "completed",
  "replayed": false
}

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
`resourceType`	string	Required	values: `"watch"`, `"target"`, `"project"`
`resourceId`	string	Required	resource ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200`
`confirmation`	string	Optional	minLength: `1`; maxLength: `240`

Validation and omitted values

Copy the exact confirmation returned for the same resource by preview_resource_deletion. Revalidate eligibility; history or retained shared evidence can block removal. Completed receipts allow replay. Historical erasure is outside this operation; pausing a watch or destination preserves its evidence.

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
`id`	string	Required	Resource identifier returned by the operation.
`workspace_id`	string	Required	Workspace that owns this record.
`project_id`	string	Required	Project that owns this record.
`resource_type`	string	Required	values: `"watch"`, `"target"`, `"project"`
`resource_id`	string	Required	Identifier returned by the related operation.
`requested_at`	string	Required
`requested_by`	string	Required
`state`	string	Required	Saved lifecycle or evidence state, as enumerated for this record. values: `"pending"`, `"completed"`
`replayed`	boolean	Optional	True when the response reuses an earlier request with the same idempotency value.

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.
