delete_workspace

Destructive

Permanently deletes a workspace and all associated data including members, configs, API keys, and resources. Provide the workspace ID to remove the workspace.

Instructions

Delete a workspace by id. This is permanent and removes the workspace, its members, configs, API keys, and resources.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
workspace_idYesThe workspace ID to delete

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYesWhether the tool call succeeded and returned structured data
dataNoStructured success payload when ok is true
errorNoStructured error payload when ok is false

Implementation Reference

  • Service method that executes the actual HTTP DELETE request to /admin/workspaces/{workspaceId}. Uses the BaseService.delete() helper and returns { success: true } on success.
    async deleteWorkspace(workspaceId: string): Promise<{ success: boolean }> {
    	await this.delete(
    		`/admin/workspaces/${this.encodePathSegment(workspaceId)}`,
    	);
    	return { success: true };
    }
  • Registers the 'delete_workspace' tool on the MCP server using server.tool(). Provides description and wires the schema to the handler which calls service.workspaces.deleteWorkspace().
    // Phase 1: Delete workspace tool
    server.tool(
    	"delete_workspace",
    	"Delete a workspace by id. This is permanent and removes the workspace, its members, configs, API keys, and resources.",
    	WORKSPACES_TOOL_SCHEMAS.deleteWorkspace,
    	async (params) => {
    		await service.workspaces.deleteWorkspace(params.workspace_id);
    		return {
    			content: [
    				{
    					type: "text",
    					text: JSON.stringify(
    						{
    							message: `Successfully deleted workspace ${params.workspace_id}`,
    							success: true,
    						},
    						null,
    						2,
    					),
    				},
    			],
    		};
    	},
    );
  • Zod schema for deleteWorkspace input validation - requires a single 'workspace_id' string parameter.
    deleteWorkspace: {
    	workspace_id: z.string().describe("The workspace ID to delete"),
    },
  • BaseService.delete() method used by the deleteWorkspace service. Performs an HTTP DELETE with allowNoContent:true to handle 204 responses.
    	protected async delete<T>(path: string): Promise<T> {
    		return this.executeRequest<T>("DELETE", path, { allowNoContent: true });
    	}
    }
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (destructiveHint: true), the description provides concrete details: 'permanent and removes the workspace, its members, configs, API keys, and resources.' This fully discloses the consequences.

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?

The description is extremely concise with two sentences: the first states the action, the second the consequences. No unnecessary words, and critical information is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple delete tool with one parameter and an output schema (not shown but present), the description fully covers the effect and scope. No gaps remain.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage (workspace_id described as 'The workspace ID to delete'), the tool description adds no new meaning beyond 'by id', which is redundant. 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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Delete' and resource 'workspace by id', making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from other delete tools by specifying 'workspace'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies the tool should be used when permanent deletion is intended, but does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives (e.g., no mention of archiving or deactivation). It also lacks guidance on prerequisites or caution.

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