Delete a connection

cs_delete_connection

Delete a Power Platform connection by ID, breaking bound flows and tools until rebound. Requires confirm: true to mutate a live environment; otherwise returns a dry run.

Instructions

Delete a connection by id. Flows and tools bound to it stop working until rebound. Runs 'pac connection delete' with the active pac auth profile. Mutates a live environment: requires confirm: true (a dry run otherwise).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cwdNoWorking directory for pac (for project commands: the solution project folder)
confirmNoRequired to actually perform a change in a live environment. Without it the tool returns a dry run.
profileNopac auth profile to run as: the admin account for tenant commands. Defaults to CPS_ADMIN_PROFILE for admin commands and CPS_PAC_PROFILE otherwise, then the active profile. cs_init lists the profiles.
backgroundNoRun in the background and return a jobId immediately, for a command that takes longer than the client will wait. Poll cs_job_status.
environmentNoEnvironment id or URL; default: the environment of the active pac auth profile
connectionIdYesConnection id (cs_list_connections)
timeoutSecondsNoDefault 600

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses destructive side effects (bound flows/tools stop working), live-environment mutation, the underlying pac command/auth profile, and the confirm-to-execute behavior. It omits irreversibility and permission requirements.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the action. The consequence, command detail, and confirmation requirement each add distinct value with no filler.

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?

Given no annotations and no output schema, the description covers purpose, side effects, confirmation, and auth context well. It omits irreversibility and return/error behavior, leaving minor gaps for a destructive tool.

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 100%, so the schema already documents all seven parameters. The description only reinforces 'by id' and the confirm behavior, adding little beyond the schema; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 'Delete' and resource 'connection' with scope 'by id', and notes the consequence for bound flows/tools, clearly distinguishing it from cs_create_connection, cs_update_connection, and cs_list_connections.

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?

Gives clear context for use: deleting a connection in a live environment, with the prerequisite that confirm: true is required (dry run otherwise). It does not name alternatives or when-not-to-use cases, so it falls short of a 5.

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