The deletion is fenced, every Connection the Principal owns is revoked, and the Principal is removed from every Group before it disappears. Erasure fails while the Principal still owns a Connection that is not locally revoked and custody-clean, so finish external provider cleanup first. Returns no body; the erasure is irreversible. Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: identity-tenancy. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json delete /v1/principals/{principal_id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Checkfu API version: '2026-08-27' description: >- Authentication is declared per operation: API-key, runtime, or connector bearer; Automation signature; or credential-free pairing redemption. Every general Checkfu REST request requires the dated `Checkfu-Version` header (one of: 2026-08-27); the three MCP JSON-RPC transports use `MCP-Protocol-Version`, A2A uses `A2A-Version`, and the provider OAuth callback carries neither Checkfu header. API keys resolve one Workspace without a request selector; authenticated responses identify it with `Checkfu-Workspace-Id`. servers: - url: https://api.checkfu.com security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: organizations - name: sourceRepositories - name: tenants - name: workspaces - name: principals - name: principalGroups - name: principalAccessCredentials - name: apiKeys - name: agents - name: harnesses - name: harnessRuntime - name: sandboxProfiles - name: computerProfiles - name: permissionAssignments - name: actionPolicies - name: files - name: memoryStores - name: dreams - name: modelCredentials - name: modelRoutingProfiles - name: blueprintInstallations - name: toolSources - name: skills - name: skillSources - name: agentSources - name: skillProposals - name: instructionProposals - name: catalog - name: concepts - name: support - name: connections - name: connectionVaults - name: connectionAssignments - name: connectedRuntimes - name: projects - name: collaboration - name: automationGraphs - name: automations - name: actionApprovals - name: standingApprovals - name: usage - name: models - name: outcomes - name: budgets - name: billing - name: sessions - name: audit - name: sessionExports - name: runs - name: runnerPools - name: transcripts - name: sessionWatches - name: webhookEndpoints - name: integrationGateway - name: agentDeployments - name: workEnvironments - name: computers - name: computerScreens - name: computerBrowserObservations - name: computerBrowserActions - name: environments - name: vaults - name: apiMcp - name: a2a paths: /v1/principals/{principal_id}: delete: tags: - principals summary: Erase a Principal description: >- Erases a Principal from the selected Workspace.
