OAuth scope:
create_task or manage_all_tasks — see the Open App guide. With create_task scope, can only access tasks created by this Open App.This action is permanent. If the task is still running, use task.stop to stop it first. Agent-related tasks (e.g. agent main tasks and subtasks) cannot be deleted.
Headers
API key for direct authentication. Provide either this or Authorization, not both. See Authentication.
Body
application/json
The unique identifier of the task to delete. Agent-related tasks cannot be deleted.
