# Clean up forms you don’t use

Find old draft forms with no replies and move them to the trash, after you say yes.

## Prompt

> List my draft forms and how many replies each has. Suggest which ones I can remove. Ask me before you move any to the trash.

## Steps for your agent

1. Call jetpack-forms/list-forms with status "draft". Use status "publish" too if the user asks about live forms.
2. Suggest a form only if entries_count is 0 or the user says it's unused. Never suggest a published form with replies.
3. Ask which to remove, by title. On yes, call jetpack-forms/delete-form once per approved id. This moves it to the trash.
4. Tell the user trashed forms can be restored from the trash.

## Tools

- `jetpack-forms/list-forms` (reads only, through `jetpack-remote-abilities`): List your forms and how many replies each one has.
- `jetpack-forms/delete-form` (makes changes, destructive, through `jetpack-remote-abilities`): Move a form to the trash. You can bring it back.

Run each tool through the WordPress.com MCP server tool named next to it, with `action: "execute"`, `operation` set to the tool name, `wpcom_site` and `params`. Set `user_confirmed: true` only after the user approves a change.

## Before you start

- Free with Jetpack Forms.

## Safety

Asks before each removal. Forms go to the trash, not gone for good, and can be restored.
