# Detach a shared knowledge source

DELETE https://api.v2.rasen.ai/v1/agents/{agent_id}/knowledge/sources/{source_id}

Removes a workspace-source library link only; never deletes content or changes retained snapshots. Own sources cannot be detached from their owner library: use the canonical source delete route if unused, or archive route if retained content requires it. Legacy draft knowledge fields do not block detach. A removed membership changes the agent's publication ETag because the direct library is the next-publish knowledge input.

Reference: https://docs.v2.rasen.ai/api-reference/agents/knowledge-sources/remove

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Create and manage workspace-owned keys through the existing app session routes, outside this public API. Creator and manager identities are audit actors only. Key validity follows workspace policy, expiry and explicit revocation, independently of creator membership. Do not include a workspace-selection header.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `agent_id` (string, required) — Resource identity within the authenticated workspace.
- `source_id` (string, required) — Resource identity within the authenticated workspace.

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, required) — Stable key per logical intent, 1–255 printable characters. Persist it before sending. Retry the same key/body after an uncertain result for 24 hours. A changed body conflicts. Beyond retention, reconcile the resource before retrying; this is not permanent deduplication. Current authorization is rechecked on replay. Evaluation order: authenticate and check current authorization; look up intent; replay its stored receipt before checking the current revision; only a new intent evaluates If-Match and executes. Fingerprint includes method, path, body and original If-Match. A changed request returns idempotency_key_reused. The server stores only a keyed (HMAC) fingerprint, and no error or response ever returns a fingerprint or hash of a request. In-flight intent returns 409 idempotency_in_progress with Retry-After; retry the same intent after reconciliation. Receipts describe that attempt, not current resource state. A replay returns the original status code and body, with the response header Idempotent-Replayed: true.

## Response

### 204

No content.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Invalid input or cursor. Correct the request.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Invalid, expired or revoked API key. Creator departure or membership changes do not invalidate a workspace key.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 403 Forbidden Error

Operation not allowed by current credential or workspace access.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 404 Not Found Error

Resource absent or not visible in this workspace.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 409 Conflict Error

Conflict. Not retryable: read the current state, fix the request and send a new request. The one exception is idempotency_in_progress, which carries Retry-After: wait, then resend the identical request with the same Idempotency-Key. The operation lists its codes in x-error-codes; branch on error.code and, for conflict, error.details.reason.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Rate limited. Respect Retry-After and retry the same intent where permitted.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal error. The effect may have happened. Retry the same request with the same Idempotency-Key; read the resource before creating a new intent. For an operation that takes an Idempotency-Key, a client retry with the same key is safe: the server replays the stored outcome if the first attempt took effect; if the first attempt had no effect, the retry performs the operation once. Never retry with a new key.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 503 Service Unavailable Error

Service unavailable. Respect Retry-After where present. For an operation that takes an Idempotency-Key, a client retry with the same key is safe: the server replays the stored outcome if the first attempt took effect; if the first attempt had no effect, the retry performs the operation once. Never retry with a new key.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

## Types

### ErrorResponseError

Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

- `code` (string, required) — Stable code. Branch on code (and details.reason for conflict), never on message. Each code has one HTTP status; see components.x-error-catalog.
- `message` (string, required) — Safe description; no provider payload or submitted secrets.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional) — Safe code-specific details. The public fields for each code are listed in components.x-error-catalog. Details never contain a request fingerprint, a hash of a request, secret material or another tenant's data. forbidden may include required_capabilities (a list).
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Same value as the X-Request-Id header. Quote it to support.
- `retry` (string, optional) — Retry class of this code: no (fix the request or state first), yes (retry the same request and the same Idempotency-Key), retry_after (wait for Retry-After, then retry the same request). Open response vocabulary. Preserve unknown values; never assume they mean success.
