# Retire competitor set

> Retire a competitor set to stop new inventory requests; preserve approved revisions and dated evidence.

`retire_competitor_set`

Retire a competitor set to stop new inventory requests; preserve approved revisions and dated evidence.

<Note>Available in the deployed MCP and HTTP bundle. Confirm access and inputs with your connected catalog. Workspace scopes and enabled providers still apply.</Note>

| Access            | Behavior                                                   |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `discovery:write` | Writes or admits work; can change or remove existing state |

This operation changes saved state. Review its inputs and retry behavior before calling.

## Example request

Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json MCP theme={null}
  {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "retire_competitor_set",
      "arguments": {
        "setId": "set_example",
        "expectedRevision": 1
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```bash CLI theme={null}
  agentlinkops call retire_competitor_set --args '{"setId":"set_example","expectedRevision":1}'
  ```

  ```bash HTTP theme={null}
  curl "$AGENTLINKOPS_API_URL/v1/commands/retire_competitor_set" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"setId":"set_example","expectedRevision":1}'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in `structuredContent` and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

## Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

| Field              | Type    | Presence | Meaning and constraints                                                                                       |
| ------------------ | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `setId`            | string  | Required | Identifier of the set returned by its create or list operation. minLength: 1; maxLength: 200                  |
| `expectedRevision` | integer | Required | Revision last read by the caller; mismatches reject concurrent updates. minimum: 1; maximum: 9007199254740990 |

### Validation and omitted values

Requires the active current revision. Retiring stops new inventory requests while retaining approved revisions and saved evidence.

## Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](/reference/schemas) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

* **`v`** (number, required): must equal 1
* **`id`** (string, required): Resource identifier returned by the operation. pattern: "^\[a-zA-Z0-9\_-]\{1,128}\$"
* **`revision`** (integer, required): Optimistic concurrency revision; supply it as expectedRevision on the next write. minimum: 1; maximum: 9007199254740991
* **`workspace_id`** (string, required): Workspace that owns this record. pattern: "^\[a-zA-Z0-9\_-]\{1,128}\$"

## Errors and retries

The command is annotated idempotent. Reuse an accepted idempotency key when the input provides one; changing the payload under a reused key can conflict.

See [error recovery](/reference/errors) for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

## HTTP resource routes

These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See [HTTP route details](/reference/http/routes).

| Method and route                     | Success | Details                                       |
