| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

Implementation Reference
- src/argocd/client.ts:95-120 (handler)The ArgoCDClient.deleteApplication method implements the core logic for deleting an ArgoCD application via HTTP DELETE request to the ArgoCD API, handling optional parameters like namespace, cascade, and propagation policy.
public async deleteApplication( applicationName: string, options?: { appNamespace?: string; cascade?: boolean; propagationPolicy?: string; } ) { const queryParams: Record<string, string | boolean> = {}; if (options?.appNamespace) { queryParams.appNamespace = options.appNamespace; } if (options?.cascade !== undefined) { queryParams.cascade = options.cascade; } if (options?.propagationPolicy) { queryParams.propagationPolicy = options.propagationPolicy; } const { body } = await this.client.delete<V1alpha1Application>( `/api/v1/applications/${applicationName}`, Object.keys(queryParams).length > 0 ? queryParams : undefined ); return body; } - src/server/server.ts:231-259 (registration)MCP tool registration for 'delete_application', including input schema validation with Zod and the thin wrapper handler that delegates to ArgoCDClient.deleteApplication.
