Delete record
Deletes one record. Quickbase cannot bring it back.
MCP tool quickbase_write → delete_record
write Confirm
Deletes one record with the Delete record button of the edit page. It works only if your role may delete records; otherwise you get APP_PERMISSION_DENIED. Quickbase says a deleted record cannot be retrieved, so the answer returns the field values the record had, for you to keep. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
