Its Slack app configuration is left behind for an admin to remove by hand — the install is revoked, the app is not deleted. **This tears down real infrastructure and cannot be undone. Every ework under the Worker has its sandbox and its agent destroyed, the Slack install is revoked, and the Worker's scheduled jobs stop firing. Nothing here rebuilds it: a replacement is a new Worker, with a new agent that remembers none of this one's work.** ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json delete /api/v1/workers/{id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Ergoly platform API version: 1.0.0 description: >- Read and change one organization's own Ergoly environment. Every route is scoped to the organization the presented credential resolves to; there is no parameter that widens it. The human-readable reference is served from the same namespace at `/api/v1/docs`, behind the same credential. The namespace's front door is `GET /api/v1`, and it is deliberately absent from `paths` below. It answers without a credential — what this API is, how an organization admin mints a key, and where the reference lives — so it is the way in to this contract rather than a part of it: it has no scope, takes no parameters, and there is nothing about it for a generated client to call. Every `unauthorized` refusal carries that same URL as `error.docs`. servers: - url: https://control.ergoly.ai security: - orgApiKey: [] tags: - name: auth description: How to present a key, what it is scoped to, and what a 401 means. - name: organization description: Which organization your credential resolves to. - name: workers description: The Slack apps and bot identities in your organization. - name: eworks description: The runtime instances under a Worker — one core, one per bound Client. - name: clients description: The customers a Worker can be scoped to, and how to bind one. - name: channels description: Which Slack rooms a Worker answers in, and who it answers as. - name: tasks description: >- Tasks handed between Workers and people, scheduled jobs, their targets, and their run history. - name: jobs description: How a provisioning run is going — the other half of every 202. - name: memory description: Read and write the memory tiers an ework mounts. - name: connections description: The credentials your agents use, and the hosts they are injected on. - name: webhooks description: Inbound URLs an outside system can POST to, each of which starts a turn. - name: activity description: Your organization's audit feed. - name: usage description: Cost, turn outcomes and a per-day pulse over a window you choose. - name: errors description: The closed set of refusal codes, and what to do about each. paths: /api/v1/workers/{id}: delete: tags: - workers summary: Delete a worker description: >- The Worker stops serving immediately and drops out of every list here.

Every failure to authenticate answers one identical 401: "Provide a valid organization-scoped API key or an active session." Each operation names the one scope it is filed under, `:`, where the resource is the first path segment after `/api/v1/`; a key minted today carries all 22 of them. Scopes are RECORDED — on the key and on every audit row — and are not yet enforced: no request is refused for want of one. ```` This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
