# Archive an attribute

> Archive workspace attributes.

Requires Objects enabled and a verified administrator. Reads require `object_types:read`; writes require `object_types:write`.

Archives an attribute. Saved values are preserved, and the field leaves the active write schema.

Use the `Idempotency-Key` header for an identical write retry. Through MCP, use `idempotency_key` in the tool arguments.

### Agent proposals

Attribute request tools create unapplied Changesets using `object_types:read` and `object_types:request`. A permitted person reviews and applies them. Create the object type before proposing its attributes, then create records after their fields exist.

### Returns

Returns the affected attribute `id`.
