Delete a Tool

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

  1. Navigate to the Tools section in your Arahi AI dashboard.

  2. Locate the tool you wish to delete (by name or ID).

  3. Select the tool and click Delete Tool (or the trash-bin icon).

  4. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

    • Deletion is irreversible.

    • Any Agents or workflows still referencing this tool will fail or produce errors until updated.

  5. 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.
