# Call the deleteDocument MCP tool

`POST /api/v1/actions/deleteDocument`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.reachium.io`
- URL: `https://app.reachium.io/api/v1/actions/deleteDocument`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Permanently delete a document. This cannot be undone, there is no restore. To take a public page offline WITHOUT destroying the document, use updateDocument unpublish:true instead. If the document is currently public, its live /p/ page goes dead the instant this is confirmed, breaking any link already shared outside Reachium. Refuses a document still referenced as a campaign's lead-magnet resource (any campaign whose trigger_config points document_id at it) so a live funnel can never end up DMing a dead link: delete or repoint those campaigns first, then retry. Also refuses a document already delivered to any lead as a personalized link (reason document_in_use): that delivery history cannot be repointed, so it is a permanent block, not a fixable one. Two-step: the FIRST call (no confirm_token) returns a preview naming the document and its public/private state and deletes NOTHING; call again with the same document_id plus confirm_token to execute.

Called through the Actions bridge: the response is that tool's own result, wrapped as `{ data: <tool result> }` under HTTP 200. Billing, daily-cap, and confirm-step outcomes are embedded INSIDE `data`, never remapped to an HTTP status (see the templated `/api/v1/actions/{toolName}` operation above for the full protocol, and `x-mcp-actions` for this tool's machine-readable scope/cap/confirm_behavior fields). Authentication, request-shape, and optional idempotency-protocol failures still use their documented non-200 statuses.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `document_id` string, uuid, required: The document to delete (from getDocuments or a createDocument result).
  - `confirm_token` string: From the preview response. Re-send with the same document_id to execute.

## Response `200`

The result of calling this tool.

- object
  - `data` unknown, required
  - `error` unknown, required

## Other responses

- `400`: The request body was not a JSON object (code invalid_request), or Idempotency-Key is malformed (code invalid_idempotency_key).
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key. Send `Authorization: Bearer rmcp_...` (code unauthorized).
- `403`: This tool is out of the key’s granted scope (code insufficient_scope).
- `409`: This Idempotency-Key has an unresolved in-flight or ambiguous result (code request_in_flight). Reconcile before using a new key.
- `422`: This Idempotency-Key was already used with a different request body (code idempotency_key_reuse).
- `429`: Rate limited: shared `mcp:ip:{ip}` (600/60s) or `mcp:key:{keyId}` (120/60s) bucket, the SAME buckets the MCP endpoint uses (code rate_limited).
- `500`: Unhandled server error (code internal_error).
