Delete a variable group.

<Warning>
  **Destructive · Writes data · Idempotent · Calls external systems.** This tool can modify or delete data. Review the arguments before letting an agent call it.
</Warning>

## Parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `acknowledge` | boolean | Yes | Must be true to confirm the delete |
| `force` | boolean | No | Bypass the non-empty check (default false) |
| `group_id` | number | Yes | Variable group id |

## Example arguments

Illustrative arguments an agent supplies when calling this tool:

```json
{
  "group_id": 0,
  "acknowledge": false
}
```

## Description

```text
Safe by default: refuses if the group still contains variables, listing them. acknowledge=true is required. force=true bypasses the local non-empty check; the platform's own refusal still applies.
```
