Implementation Reference
- Implements the core logic for the delete_workflow_activity tool by sending a DELETE request to the ServiceNow wf_activity table endpoint.def delete_workflow_activity( auth_manager: AuthManager, server_config: ServerConfig, params: Dict[str, Any], ) -> Dict[str, Any]: """ Delete an activity from a workflow. Args: auth_manager: Authentication manager server_config: Server configuration params: Parameters for deleting a workflow activity Returns: Dict[str, Any]: Result of the deletion operation """ # Unwrap parameters if needed params = _unwrap_params(params, DeleteWorkflowActivityParams) # Get the correct auth_manager and server_config try: auth_manager, server_config = _get_auth_and_config(auth_manager, server_config) except ValueError as e: logger.error(f"Error getting auth and config: {e}") return {"error": str(e)} activity_id = params.get("activity_id") if not activity_id: return {"error": "Activity ID is required"} # Make the API request try: headers = auth_manager.get_headers() url = f"{server_config.instance_url}/api/now/table/wf_activity/{activity_id}" response = requests.delete(url, headers=headers) response.raise_for_status() return { "message": "Activity deleted successfully", "activity_id": activity_id, } except requests.RequestException as e: logger.error(f"Error deleting workflow activity: {e}") return {"error": str(e)} except Exception as e: logger.error(f"Unexpected error deleting workflow activity: {e}") return {"error": str(e)}
