Delete prompt

Not available yet. Write endpoints are documented ahead of implementation so the contract can be reviewed. No API key can call them today: every key is minted read-only, and a workspace must hold the write entitlement before one can be issued that is not.

Deletes a prompt. This mirrors the app, where removing a single prompt is a one-step action.

There is no soft delete, no archive and no pause, so this is the only way to stop a prompt running, and it takes the per-prompt analytics with it. Call dry_run=true first if the prompt has history worth knowing about.

Requires the write:prompts scope.


DELETE /v1/brands/{brand_id}/prompts/{prompt_id}

Authorization

Header	Type	Required
`Authorization`	`Bearer asky_sk_…`	required
`Idempotency-Key`	`string`	required

Path parameters

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`dry_run`	`boolean`	`false`	Report what would be removed without removing it

Any parameter not listed here returns 400 invalid_request naming the offending key, rather than being ignored silently.

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`data.id`	`uuid`	required
`data.executions_orphaned`	`integer`	required. Answer records kept, but no longer linked to a prompt
`data.dry_run`	`boolean`	required
`request_id`	`string`	required. Also returned as the `x-request-id` header. Quote it when contacting support

Errors

Status	Code	When
400	`invalid_request`	A parameter is unknown or malformed. The message names it
401	`invalid_token`	The key is missing, malformed, or does not exist
401	`token_expired`	The key passed its expiry date
401	`token_revoked`	The key was revoked
404	`not_found`	The brand does not exist, or this key is not allowed to reach it. The two are deliberately indistinguishable
429	`rate_limited`	Over 300 requests per minute. See the `Retry-After` header

Notes

Deletion is permanent and there is no lighter alternative. The app asks for typed confirmation before a bulk delete of 25 prompts or more, precisely because the history goes with them. Over HTTP there is no typing step, so a script deleting in a loop has no friction at all. Build your own check before looping.

The underlying answer records survive but are detached, which is why executions_orphaned is returned: it tells you how much measured history just lost its label. Those rows still count toward brand-level totals; they simply no longer roll up under a prompt.
