Delete project

well_delete_project
Destructive

Delete a project from the current workspace (soft delete).

Use this tool when the user asks to delete or remove a project, a campaign, a deal, a cost center or a property. Find the project_id first with well_list_projects. To close a project but keep it, change its status with well_update_project instead.

REQUIRED: project_id.

A project a connected tool synced in (synced: true) is not deleted: the next sync would bring it back. A project that other projects nest under, that a product names as its price scope or its type, or that a forecast plans for, is not deleted either: move or delete those first. In both cases the call fails and nothing is deleted.

When the delete of a row a connected tool synced in is refused, the failure carries next_step: a hide that takes the row out of Well's lists and figures and keeps it in the connected tool. Offer that hide to the person; once they say yes, call next_step.tool with next_step.input. Never hide without that yes.

Returns { success: true, project_id } on success, or { success: false, error } on failure.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYesThe project to delete, from well_list_projects.
workspace_idNoTarget workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several — a write lands in exactly one workspace and this call would not say which.
conversation_idNoThe conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation.
idempotency_keyNoOptional client-supplied key. A retried write with the same key returns the original result instead of re-applying the operation.
workspace_scopeNoRestrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
codeNo
errorNo
successYes
project_idNo
reply_linesNo
conversation_idNoThe conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation.
near_candidatesNo
newly_connectedNoTools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later.
conversation_id_noteNoPresent only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read.
conversation_id_sourceNoWhere the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened.
near_candidates_truncatedNo

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the destructiveHint/readOnlyHint annotations: it discloses that deletion is a soft delete, that synced rows, nested parents, price-scope/type references and forecasted projects are refused, and that refusals return a next_step hide that must be offered to the user first. It also documents the success/failure return shape. This is exactly the behavioral context annotations cannot carry.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the core action and scope, then layered constraints and the next_step flow. It is long, but nearly every sentence carries a distinct constraint (sync refusal, nesting refusal, hide consent, return shape); minor density penalty for length.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile, the output schema covers return values (which the description still summarizes), and the description supplies the refusal conditions and the consent-gated fallback flow. Nothing an agent needs to call this mutation correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real value by marking project_id as REQUIRED and telling the agent to source it from well_list_projects. Other params (workspace_id, idempotency_key, conversation_id) are left entirely to the schema, which is acceptable given full coverage.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Delete a project from the current workspace') and immediately qualifies the operation as a soft delete. The agent can distinguish it from well_update_project and well_delete_task_project without opening a schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly names the trigger ('when the user asks to delete or remove a project, a campaign, a deal, a cost center or a property'), the prerequisite (find project_id with well_list_projects), and the alternative (close but keep -> well_update_project). When-to-use and when-not-to-use are both covered.

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