delete_connection
Remove a specific relationship between two stored memories in a Neo4j graph database, permanently deleting the connection when it's no longer needed or incorrect.
Instructions
Delete a specific connection between two memories (use with caution - this permanently removes the relationship)
Input Schema

Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/index.ts:280-292 (handler)Main handler logic for the delete_connection tool: validates arguments using isDeleteConnectionArgs and calls neo4j.deleteRelationship to perform the deletion.
case 'delete_connection': { if (!isDeleteConnectionArgs(args)) { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Invalid delete_connection arguments'); } const result = await neo4j.deleteRelationship(args.fromMemoryId, args.toMemoryId, args.type); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; - src/neo4j-client.ts:128-140 (helper)Core implementation in Neo4jClient that executes the Cypher query to delete the specific relationship between two memory nodes.
async deleteRelationship(fromNodeId: number, toNodeId: number, relationType: string): Promise<any> { const result = await this.executeQuery( `MATCH (a)-[r:${relationType}]->(b) WHERE id(a) = $fromId AND id(b) = $toId DELETE r RETURN count(r) as deletedCount`, { fromId: neo4j.int(fromNodeId), toId: neo4j.int(toNodeId), } ); return result[0]; } - src/tools/definitions.ts:152-172 (registration)Tool registration defining the name, description, and JSON input schema for the MCP protocol.

export interface DeleteConnectionArgs { fromMemoryId: number; toMemoryId: number; type: string; } - src/types.ts:105-113 (schema)Type guard function for validating delete_connection arguments before execution.
