## Example

REST:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://covo.lanaai.io/api/v1/agents/agt_4edc89bb2964/drafts/ba5e403e-7650-449d-b575-beaffff3401b/discard" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COVO_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
```

MCP (POST /mcp):

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "discard_draft",
    "arguments": {
      "agent_id": "agt_4edc89bb2964",
      "draft_id": "ba5e403e-7650-449d-b575-beaffff3401b"
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Returns an object with `draft_id` and `status`. This is a real response, shortened to two items per list.

200 response:

```json
{
  "draft_id": "ba5e403e-7650-449d-b575-beaffff3401b",
  "status": "discarded"
}
```

Over MCP the same object comes back as the tool result, in `structuredContent` and as JSON text.
