Edit and delete your app's records without opening the app

·1 min read

The Data tab listing a tickets collection, newest first, with its fields, who added each record, and edit and delete buttons on every row.

Cleaning up an app's shared data used to mean opening the app and clicking through it as yourself, if the app even had a delete button. Now the owner can do it directly.

Open an app, go to Data, and each collection lists its records with an edit and a delete button. Pick another collection from the table above it.

The edit dialog for a ticket, with a text field, a status dropdown, a number field, a switch and a JSON field

The editor follows your h0.json: dropdowns for a field with fixed options, a switch for true or false, and a check on every value before it saves. Who added the record doesn't change when you edit it. Delete asks first, because it can't be undone.

From an agent#

Tell your agent to clean it up. It can use the API:

Terminal
curl -X PATCH https://host0.ai/api/v1/apps/<app>/records/tickets/<id> \
  -H "authorization: bearer $HOST0_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"done": true}'

curl -X DELETE https://host0.ai/api/v1/apps/<app>/records/tickets/<id> \
  -H "authorization: bearer $HOST0_API_KEY"

Or, with the host0 MCP server connected, the list_records, update_record and delete_record tools.

The collection's own access rules don't apply here, since you own the app. A collection your live version no longer declares can't be edited, but you can still export its records or delete them.
