Cancel an existing order by ID
AI agents call cancel_order to permanently remove resources in Trading 212 MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Cancelling an order permanently removes it from the order book. While it doesn't delete data in the traditional sense, the cancellation of a financial order is irreversible (the original order state cannot be restored) and has direct financial implications.
From the tool's definition 'Cancel an existing order by ID' — cancelling an order is an irreversible action that terminates a placed trade order and cannot be undone once processed.
