Uninstall Agent via API Request

Allow the uninstall of Huntress agents via API request.
Since tamper protection has been introduced to the Huntress agent, enabling the feature means RMMs can no longer automatically uninstall Huntress from a device. Without an API endpoint to trigger an uninstall, this breaks automation processes and adds new manual tasks that can only be completed in the Huntress portal.

Automate Agent Removal Process

We get requests from clients decommissioning machines out of client use but the agent is still online. We would like to be able to remove the agent in an automated process along with our other agents from the decommissioned machines. Uninstall the Huntress agent without the need to login to the Web UI. If not a way to override tamper protection, then maybe an API call to be made to call the huntress uninstall Process from the web through an API call.

Would be great to be able to /delete/{id} via the API to automatically clean up our organizations for when devices get wiped/replaced or a client leaves us

API Endpoint to Delete / Decommission Agents

DELETE /v1/agents/{id}
MSPs live and die by automation. We use tools like ImmyBot to onboard Huntress agents without touching the portal, but offboarding still requires manual intervention. That's the single broken link in an otherwise fully automated endpoint lifecycle workflow.
Every decommission, reimage, device swap, or stale asset cleanup requires someone to log in and click. At scale, this adds up fast and introduces inventory drift when people forget.
What we're asking for is simple: A DELETE /v1/agents/{id} endpoint that removes or decommissions the agent tied to that ID. Soft-delete is fine if hard delete isn't feasible for retention reasons. Standard permissions, audit logging, and clean error responses are all we need.
This isn't a nice-to-have. It's the missing half of the API. Every other step in the lifecycle is automatable today — onboarding, monitoring, alerting — except this one. One endpoint closes the loop for a huge swath of your MSP base.

There needs to be a way to automate device off boarding!!!

Most EDR platforms have this API available. We need to have it so we can manage devices efficiently

We need this desperately to automate device decommission, we don't want to go to 15 portals to remove a device that is no longer in use

+1 We are experiencing friction with agent removals, if we cannot have automation perform local actions on the agent, it would be very nice if we could build automation to handle it via an external API call at the least!

FYI tamper protection can be disabled at the Organization or Device level, although you would need to log into the console which may not meet your needs:
