# Delete Stage

`Delete_Stage` deletes a single GovTribe stage using its GovTribe ID.

## Output Contract

* Top-level keys:
  * `response`
* Row keys:
  * `n/a`
* Relationship retrieval map:
  * `stage_id` (input context)
    * `tool`: `Search_Stages`
    * `filter`: `stage_ids`
    * `fallback`: after deletion this lookup may return zero rows; use previously captured pipeline or stage context for audit history.

## Usage Patterns

Pattern A: Delete a known stage directly. Tool: `Delete_Stage`

```json
{
  "stage_id": "<STAGE_ID>"
}
```
