# delete\_snippet

Delete a Code Glue snippet — Permanently delete a Code Glue snippet.

Permanently delete a Code Glue snippet. Requires confirmation. Webhooks referencing it fall back to no snippet. Registered as the WordPress Ability `flowsystems-webhook-actions/delete_snippet`, so external AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor) can call it over MCP or REST with a scoped API token.

/ Plan step shape

```
{ "ability": "delete_snippet", "input": { "id": … } }
```

/ Scope & confirmation

Minimum API-token scope for external (MCP/REST) callers: `full`. This step always pauses for explicit user confirmation before it runs.

/ Input fields

| Name | In | Type | Req | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| id | param | integer | yes |  |

/ Examples

Plan step as the AI Builder proposes it

```
{
  "id": "step_1",
  "ability": "delete_snippet",
  "summary": "…",
  "input": {
    "id": 4
  }
}
```
