Delete Purchase

brc_delete_purchase
Destructive

Deletes a BRC purchase by id using timestamp confirmation. Historical purchases are not automatically blocked because they belong to an earlier financial year. The BRC endpoint determines whether the historical deletion is supported. Requires a valid routeToken issued for the matching action workflow. The token remains valid through lookup, preview and the permitted transaction. Placeholder tokens are invalid. A routeToken does not bypass preview or explicit-confirmation requirements. A call without confirmWrite: true returns confirmation_required and a payload preview. confirmWrite: true applies the previewed change after explicit confirmation. Passing preflight is not confirmation.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesPurchase id.
routeTokenYesOpaque routeToken from brc_route_request for this action workflow. Required for transactional tools. Routing permission only — does not replace preview-before-posting or confirmWrite.
companyNameYesCompany context name, for example YOUR-COMPANY-NAME.
confirmWriteNoMust be true only after a plain-English preview before posting has been shown in the current conversation and the user explicitly confirmed posting (for example yes, create it / post it now / confirm). Never set true on the first call or because the user initially asked to create something. Nothing is written to Big Red Cloud until you confirm.
confirmDeleteNo
connectionRefNoOpaque Red connection reference returned by brc_confirm_company_connection. Pass this exact value on every later tool call when the MCP client rotates session ids (for example Vibe/Mistral). Keep reusing the same connectionRef after successful tool calls — do not start a new connection because a lookup returned empty or partial data. It is not an API key and does not contain credentials.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Even with destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, the description adds substantial behavioral detail: the token remains valid through lookup/preview/permitted transaction, placeholder tokens are invalid, a call without confirmWrite returns confirmation_required and a payload preview, and preflight does not equal confirmation. This goes well beyond the annotations and clearly outlines the two-call destructive workflow.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the core action and then covers historical nuances, token validity, and confirmation requirements in a tight sequence. Every sentence contributes unique, necessary information for safely invoking this destructive tool without redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a transactional delete with no output schema, the description explains the required prerequisite (routeToken), the two-step confirmation behavior, and the historical-deletion edge case. It does not mention the undocumented confirmDelete parameter or what a successful deletion response looks like, but the core agent-relevant workflow is well covered.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 83%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add per-parameter meaning beyond the schema; it references routeToken and confirmWrite in context but the schema already documents them thoroughly. The undocumented confirmDelete parameter is not addressed in either the schema or the description, so no compensation for that gap occurs.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with 'Deletes a BRC purchase by id using timestamp confirmation', stating a specific verb, resource, and method. Among the many delete_* sibling tools, this clearly identifies the target as a purchase, making it unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context on when deletion may proceed, especially the nuance that historical purchases are not automatically blocked and that the BRC endpoint determines support. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or state 'use this instead of X', but the guidance on confirmation flow and historical behavior gives usable context.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
