Permanently delete an expense category from a workspace.
AI agents call delete_expense_category to permanently remove resources in Clockify Time Tracking — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool meets the Destructive category definition: it irreversibly deletes data (an expense category) and the action cannot be undone. While the blast radius is scoped to a single category rather than the entire workspace, permanent deletion of workspace configuration data that may be referenced by existing expenses represents a high-severity risk.
From the tool's definition 'Permanently delete an expense category' - the tool irreversibly removes data from the workspace with no undo mechanism described.
