What does “Delete a Tool” mean?
Deleting a Tool permanently removes it from your Arahi AI workspace — it can no longer be used by Agents or workflows once deleted.
How to Delete a Tool
-
Navigate to the Tools section in your Arahi AI dashboard.
-
Locate the tool you wish to delete (by name or ID).
-
Select the tool and click Delete Tool (or the trash-bin icon).
-
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
-
Deletion is irreversible.
-
Any Agents or workflows still referencing this tool will fail or produce errors until updated.
-
-
Optionally: update any impacted Agents/tools to remove references to the deleted tool.
Important Considerations
-
Dependencies: Before deleting, check which Agents/workflows rely on the tool. Deletion may break those workflows.
-
Permissions: Only users with appropriate rights (e.g., admin or tool-owner) can delete tools.
-
Irreversibility: Once deleted, the tool cannot be recovered; you would need to recreate it.
-
Audit & logs: Maintain logs of which tools were deleted, by whom, and when — useful for compliance.
-
Storage & cost: Deleting unused tools helps keep your workspace tidy and may reduce clutter.
Best Practices
-
Review and document tool usage before deleting.
-
Replace or update Agents that rely on the tool immediately after deletion.
-
Archive or export the tool’s configuration first if you might want to recreate it later.
-
Inform your team of the deletion to avoid confusion or unexpected workflow failures.
Summary
Deleting a tool in Arahi AI is a powerful action that removes a tool permanently from your workspace. Make sure you understand its dependencies, backup if needed, and proceed carefully.
