# Remove team member

`DELETE /api/team-members/{sid}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://beta.getsales.io/id/v1`
- URL: `https://beta.getsales.io/id/v1/api/team-members/{sid}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer and API key in header `Team-SID`

Cancel a pending invite or remove an active member: one soft-delete verb. DESTRUCTIVE. The owner is protected (409 owner_cannot_be_removed: transfer_team_ownership first). Removing a member revokes their sessions in this workspace only.

Contract:
- MCP tool `delete_team_member`, registry package `mcp.id/team_members`, mount `id.identity`.
- Operation `delete`, response envelope `delete_simple`.
- Flags: dangerous: the MCP layer gates it behind a preview/commit token, and the effect cannot be undone through this API.

## Path parameters

- `sid` string, required: The ts_mb_* sid of the row to delete.

## Response `200`

`delete_simple` success envelope.
