## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/perplexity.ai/delete_chat`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/perplexity.ai/delete_chat
```

## Input

- `chatId` (string, required): Thread id from list_chats (the id in its /search/<id> URL). Must be one of the account's recent threads shown in the sidebar.

## Output

- `chatId` (string, required): The thread id that was deleted, echoed back.
- `deleted` (boolean, required): True once Perplexity's own delete request has answered successfully. The script fails rather than returning false, so a returned record always means the thread is gone.
