# Delete Workflow Node

> Use the delete_workflow_node MCP tool on the DialNexa remote MCP server.

<span data-api-safety-label="destructive"><Badge color="red" size="sm" shape="pill">Destructive</Badge></span>

Permanently deletes a node from a workflow AND any edges connecting to or from it (cascades automatically), also clearing the matching routing entry on any node that pointed to it. This is NOT reversible. Requires confirm: true — only set this after the user has explicitly approved deleting this specific node, never preemptively.

## Parameters

| Name          | Type      | Required | Description                                                                                                    |
| ------------- | --------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `workflow_id` | `string`  | Yes      | The workflow ID, e.g. workflow\_abc123                                                                         |
| `node_id`     | `string`  | Yes      | The node ID, e.g. node\_abc123 — from get\_workflow\_structure                                                 |
| `confirm`     | `boolean` | Yes      | Must be true. Set this only after the user has explicitly approved deleting this node and its connected edges. |

## Before you call

* Connect and initialize the MCP client with OAuth or an API key for the intended workspace.
* Provide the required parameters: `workflow_id`, `node_id`, `confirm`.
* Set `confirm: true` only after the user approves the exact target and action.

## Example MCP request

Send `tools/call` after your client completes MCP initialization. Replace placeholder values with IDs and inputs from your workspace. For object and array parameters, follow the nested requirements in the parameter description instead of treating an empty value as complete.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_workflow_node",
    "arguments": {
      "workflow_id": "workflow_abc123",
      "node_id": "node_abc123",
      "confirm": true
    }
  }
}
```

The server returns one text content block. Parse `content[0].text` as JSON when the tool succeeds. See [MCP responses and errors](/docs/mcp-tools/errors) for the full envelope and failure behavior.

## Verify the result

Confirm the response is not marked `isError`. Call [Get Workflow Structure](/docs/mcp-tools/workflows/get-workflow-structure) to read the affected resource. Verify that the target is removed or disconnected before reporting completion.

## Retry safety

This tool can remove or disconnect a resource. Confirm the exact target first, and do not retry after an uncertain result until you verify the current state.
