Delete a Cloud Agent permanently via API

Permanently remove a Cloud Agent with DELETE https://api.cursor.com/v1/agents/{id}. Official reference: Cloud Agents API → Delete An Agent Permanently.

The Cloud Agents API v1 is in public beta. Authenticate with Basic auth (API key as username, empty password) or Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Create a user key at Cursor Dashboard → API Keys, or use a service account key. Availability: Beta (all plans) per the API overview.

This action is irreversible. Prefer archive when you might need the agent, its conversation, or its artifacts again.
