Delete Origin Ruleset via the API

delete-origin-ruleset-via-apiUpdated 2026-09-22

Delete a repository ruleset by its stable Origin id with DELETE https://api.cursor.com/v1/origin/repos/{ownerSlug}/{repoName}/rulesets/{rulesetId}. Official reference: Origin API and changelog (OpenAPI OriginService_DeleteRuleset; added 2026-08-22). The response body is empty.

Origin is in Early Beta and subject to change. Authenticate with an installation access token (oit_…) or a user access token that carries repository:rulesets:write. Availability: Early Beta per the API overview.

An empty rulesetId returns InvalidArgument (HTTP 400). A ruleset stored on a different repository reads as an unknown ruleset and returns 404.

Cost: 5 points against the principal budget (ordinary write).
