Implementation Reference

• src/outline-client.ts:170-186 (handler)

  The actual implementation of the delete document logic that makes the API request.

  async deleteDocument(id: string): Promise<void> {
    const endpoints = ['/api/documents.delete', '/api/documents/delete', '/api/document/delete'];
  
    for (const endpoint of endpoints) {
      try {
        await this.api.post(endpoint, { id });
        return;
      } catch (error: any) {
        if (error.response?.status === 404 && endpoint !== endpoints[endpoints.length - 1]) {
          console.error(`Endpoint ${endpoint} not found, trying next...`);
          continue;
        }
        throw error;
      }
    }
    throw new Error('No valid endpoint found for deleting document');
  }

          type: 'text',
          text: `Document ${args.id} deleted successfully`,
