Archive (soft-delete) a query in Redash
AI agents call archive_query to permanently remove resources in Redash MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Archiving a query is a soft-delete operation that removes the query from active use. While it may be technically reversible in some systems, it is described as 'soft-delete', placing it firmly in the Destructive category. The blast radius is high because archiving a query can break dependent dashboards, visualizations, and workflows that rely on it.
