Deletes one record. Quickbase cannot bring it back.

Quickbase MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/quickbase.md

MCP tool: `quickbase_write → delete_record`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

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.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `app` | string | yes | App name as it appears under My apps, e.g. 'Field Ops'. |
| `table` | string | yes | Table name as it appears in the app's sidebar, e.g. 'Work orders'. |
| `record_id` | integer | yes | Record ID# from run_report, search_records or create_record. |
