# Delete an agent (409 while a run is processing)

`DELETE /business/agents/{agentId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1/business/agents/{agentId}`
- Auth: HTTP basic

Deletes the agent and tears down the provider subscriptions behind it. The results list it built and the rows already delivered are KEPT — delete the list separately if you want them gone. Drafts delete immediately. An agent whose run is in progress (`status: processing`) answers 409 AGENT_PROCESSING; wait until it reads `active` or `paused` and retry. Nothing is refunded, and a deleted agent is not recoverable — duplicate it first if you may want it back. Answers 204 with no body.

Errors:
- `404` `AGENT_NOT_FOUND` — No agent with this id belongs to the token owner. A deleted agent and another user's agent answer identically.
- `409` `AGENT_PROCESSING` — A run is in progress (status `processing`); the agent cannot be changed until it settles. Retry once it is `active` or `paused`.
- `422` `VALIDATION_FAILED` — The request failed this endpoint's own validation — `param` names the offending field and `message` says why.
- `429` `RATE_LIMITED` — The agents bucket is exhausted: 30 requests per minute or 2,000 per day per token owner, shared by every /business/agents operation (a 429 raised by the agents service is relayed with this code too). Retry after the `Retry-After` header.
- `500` `UNEXPECTED_ERROR` — The agents service failed (5xx, refused service credential, or a timeout after 60s) or the rate limiter was unavailable. Retry later; quote `request_id` to support.

Requires one of the following token scopes: agents.

## Path parameters

- `agentId` string, required: The agent's id: a 24-character hex string — the `id` of an item from GET /business/agents, or the `agent.id` a create or duplicate returned.

## Response `204`

Deleted
