# Delete a retrieval document

> Delete retrieval document.

`veryfront__delete_retrieval_document`

Requires project.knowledge.write; API keys also need delete scope.

## Access

No external-service connection is required. Use a Veryfront credential with access to the requested resources.

**Call type:** Can change resources.

## Arguments

| Field | Type | Required | Description and constraints |
| - | - | - | - |
| `expected_revision` | `string` | No | Delete only this observed revision. A changed record is a conflict; a missing record is `not_found`. Delete the record before removing its chunks, as ragStore().removeDocument() does, so a concurrent refresh cannot publish through a still-visible record. |
| `project_reference` | `string` | No | Project ID or slug. Minimum length: `1`. |
| `retrieval_document_id` | `string` | Yes | Retrieval document ID. Format: `uuid`. |
| `confirm` | `boolean` | Yes | Must be true to delete the record. |

## Example request

Send this JSON-RPC request through an initialized MCP client. Replace sample identifiers and values before calling the tool. See [MCP client setup](https://veryfront.com/docs/cloud/getting-started/connect-mcp.md).

    }
  }
}
```
