Archive an item from a Monday.com board.
AI agents use monday_archive_item to create or update resources in Monday Com MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Monday Com MCP Server environment.
Archiving is a reversible operation that modifies data state but allows recovery or restoration of the archived item. This distinguishes it from Destructive (which would be permanent deletion). While it changes item visibility and accessibility, the operation can be undone by unarchiving, making it a Write category action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'monday_archive_item' and description 'Archive an item from a Monday.com board' indicates the tool moves an item to an archived state rather than permanently deleting it.
