Delete tag

Deletes a tag and removes it from every prompt and competitor carrying it. The prompts and competitors themselves are untouched — only the label goes.

That reach is invisible from the request, so the response reports it, and dry_run lets you see it first. A tag on 400 prompts and a tag on none look identical until you ask.

Requires the write:tags scope, and the workspace must be enabled for API writes.


DELETE /v1/brands/{brand_id}/tags/{tag_id}

Authorization

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

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`brand_id`	`uuid`	required	From List brands
`tag_id`	`uuid`	required	From List tags

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`dry_run`	`boolean`	optional	Report what would be unassigned and delete nothing

Unlike Delete topic there is no outcome parameter: a tag owns nothing, so there is no second decision to make.

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`data.deleted_tag_id`	`uuid`	required. The tag that was removed, or would be
`data.name`	`string`	required. Its name, so a log line reads without a second lookup
`data.prompts_untagged`	`integer`	required. Prompts that lost the label
`data.competitors_untagged`	`integer`	required. Competitors that lost the label
`data.dry_run`	`boolean`	required. `true` means nothing was changed
`request_id`	`string`	required

Errors

Status	Code	When
400	`invalid_request`	`dry_run` is not `true` or `false`
401	`invalid_token`	The key is missing, malformed, or does not exist
403	`insufficient_scope`	The key does not carry `write:tags`
404	`not_found`	The tag does not exist, was already deleted, or belongs to another brand
429	`rate_limited`	Over 60 requests per minute

Notes

Deleting twice returns 404, not a second success.

The counts are the same in both modes. A dry run reports exactly what the real call will do, and the real call reports what it did.

Nothing is soft-deleted. Removing a tag from prompts and competitors is not recoverable through the API — recreate the tag and reapply it with Set prompt tags.
