Not reversible

This tool cannot be undone.

Requires human confirmation

Put this tool on your client's “ask before running” list. The annotations are hints that the server declares, not guarantees: do not decide the approval from destructiveHint alone. The server flags this tool with _meta["anthropic/requiresUserInteraction"], which clients that honor it use to ask a person before every call.

The reason is optional and is kept in the history. An ALREADY SIGNED contract cannot be cancelled —it rejects the request—: to undo a signature you have to void the document with /void. cancelled is terminal: a cancelled contract can no longer be signed. Returns the full contract, the same projection as its GET.

Arguments

contractIdstringRequired

Contract identifier.

Limits: min length 1

reasonstring

Cancellation reason, which is kept in the contract history.

Limits: min length 1, max length 500

idempotencyKeystring

Idempotency key chosen by the client (a UUID is recommended). Repeating the same key with the same arguments within 24 h returns the stored response without executing again; with different arguments it responds 422. It is the safe way to retry after a network failure.

Limits: min length 1, max length 255

ifMatchstring

Optimistic locking: the meta.etag you got from the detail read of this resource (or "*"). If the resource changed since, the call fails with 412 precondition_failed before writing anything; read it again and retry. Omit it to write unconditionally.

Limits: min length 1
