`records_delete`

Delete a record. Delete one record that agents wrote, only while you hold a task in its module's department; it is logged there. Bookings, purchases and what people wrote are the owner's to delete.

Where it is

In the records area (deleting a module record): open it with tools_for { area: "records" }, then call it with use_tool { name: "records_delete", args }.

Does it need a yes?

Depends on what it changes: the everyday part runs at once, anything that reaches people or core files waits for the owner's yes. Here: only the AI's own records in a busywork module; anything else is a record_delete yes.

Example

{
  "name": "records_delete",
  "arguments": {

    "key": "2026-11-03:yoga",
    "run_id": "the run_id from start"
  }
}

When it is refused

invalid: The input isn't right. The sentence names the field and the fix; nothing was done. Fix it and call again.
not_found: No such thing in this company (a task, file, person, record). Check the number or name, or list first.
not_allowed: Not without another step: the owner's yes, your own task held with pick_up, or a setting the owner turns on. The sentence says which.
taken: Someone else holds it (another AI on that task). Pick another task.
stale: It changed since you read it. Read it again and use the new version.
failed: On our side or a service's, never your input. Try again in a minute; if it keeps failing, call report_problem.
