Cancel an interview schedule
AI agents call interview_schedule_cancel to permanently remove resources in Ashby MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Cancelling an interview schedule is an irreversible action that removes a committed appointment, potentially affecting candidates, interviewers, and hiring timelines. Unlike updating or rescheduling, cancellation destroys the scheduling record and cannot be easily undone without recreating the entire schedule.
From the tool's definition 'Cancel an interview schedule' — cancellation is typically irreversible and removes a scheduled interview event
