delete_saved_asset

Delete one saved asset by id. Destructive — confirm with the user before calling. OAuth callers can only delete saves they created themselves (Linear model — see /assets UI for org-admin override). API-key callers are treated as org-trusted and can delete on behalf of any creator in the workspace...
