Hello all, how can I delete a customtool object? I prematurely deployed my MCP suite project (to sandbox) and now i want to delete my script files, but they are dependent on the objects I assume, but i can't find where to delete them in the UI. Has anyone run into this?

If I recall that was still an open question.

ah ok, thanks tho!

Set

exposeto3rdpartyagents

to

F

in your custom tool SDF object, like this:

<exposeto3rdpartyagents>F</exposeto3rdpartyagents>

Then redeploy the tool so it’s not available in your MCP client (e.g., Claude).

Custom objects deployed through SuiteCloud projects need to be managed through the project itself. To remove them you update the project by deleting those objects from your source and redeploying which will uninstall them from the account.

i tried that, i even deleted all my script files and objects and redeployed, but the script files are still present in the file cabinet, and i can not delete them in the UI either

SuiteCloud project deployment will remove custom objects but script files in the File Cabinet are not automatically deleted when you redeploy.

so i never made script records or script deployments. but the MCP connection still ran the scripts when i did test it via claude. so i can't think of any other record that would be referencing the files other than the objects as the objects reference the files with the <scriptfile> tag. i have deleted all files and objects from my project, and redeployed but even after doing so, i cannot delete the script files from the file cabinet. The are still being referenced somewhere

When SuiteCloud pushes a <scriptfile> tag the system treats that as a dependency and keeps a hidden reference to it until you explicitly tell the deployment to remove it. The way to clear them out is to add the files back into your project and then mark them with a <delete> action in your deploy.xml, then redeploy. That signals NetSuite to unregister the reference and allow the files to be removed from the File Cabinet. If you just drop them from the project without the <delete> tag the references remain and the UI won’t let you delete them.

got it let me try that!

In your

deploy.xml

, you wrap the object or file entry with a

<delete>true</delete>

flag.

i got this error: The object tag is not supported in SDF projects. Remove the object tag to deploy the project. i'm reading that projecttype="ACCOUNTCUSTOMIZATION" cannot delete files https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/section_1505834545.html#subsect_1522153967

yeah, that XML @Pandorahiccup pasted doesn't even look like valid XML for an account customization project. Maybe they simply asked AI and it hallucinated?

yes?

If you deploy a SuiteApp and remove objects from the

deploy.xml

, redeploying can delete those omitted objects from the account (keeping only what remains in

deploy.xml

). However, with an Account Customization Project, simply removing objects from

deploy.xml

will not delete them in the target account. Unwanted components must be manually removed — the deployment is non-destructive.

Make sense
