`DELETE /v1/webhooks/{id}`

Delete a webhook endpoint

## Request

Authenticate with a bearer API key. Agents calling over MCP authorise with OAuth instead and never handle the key.

```bash
curl -X DELETE https://api.postlake.dev/v1/webhooks/{id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTLAKE_API_KEY"
```

### Parameters

| Field | Type | Required | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes | In the URL. |


## Response

Success (`200`).

| Field | Type | Required | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes |  |
| `deleted` | boolean | Yes |  |



### Example

```json
{
  "id": "…",
  "deleted": false
}
```


## Calling this from an agent

Agents working over the hosted MCP server reach the same product through tools rather than REST, and authorise with OAuth so your API key is never pasted into a chat.

## Errors

Every failure uses one shape: a stable `type`, a granular `code`, the field at fault in `param`, and a plain-language `fix`. See https://docs.postlake.dev/errors.md .

Check the result before retrying a write. Only operations that explicitly support idempotency can safely replay an `Idempotency-Key`.

## Common questions

**Is it safe to retry this call?**

Do not automatically repeat a write after a timeout unless that endpoint explicitly documents idempotency. First read the resulting state; a second request could repeat the action.

**What happens when it fails?**

You get one error shape: a stable type, a granular code you can branch on, the offending field in param, and a fix written so an agent can correct itself rather than stop. Full list on Errors and retries.
