Delete Table Columns (raw)
openl_delete_table_columnsRemove one or more columns from a table's raw source at a specified position, shifting the remaining columns left to keep the table compact. Works for any table type and returns the current table ID for subsequent operations.
Instructions
Delete ONE OR MORE columns starting at 'position' (1..width-1) from a table's raw source, shifting the columns to the right left. 'count' defaults to 1. The leading-label column (0) cannot be deleted. Operates on the table's RAW source, so it works for any table type. Positions are 0-based (row 0 is the header row, column 0 carries the leading labels). An edit that relocates the table (it had no room to grow in place) CHANGES its location-derived id; the response always returns the table's CURRENT id as 'tableId' (plus previousTableId when it changed) — use it for subsequent calls. Note: the studio does not auto-compile after an edit; this tool reads the table back to trigger the recompile, so a subsequent openl_project_status reflects the change.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| count | No | Number of columns to delete starting at 'position' (default 1). | |
| tableId | Yes | Table identifier - unique ID assigned by OpenL Studio (e.g., 'calculatePremium_1234'). VOLATILE: derived from the table's location, so it changes when an edit relocates the table (it had no room to grow in place) — use the 'tableId' returned by the latest openl_update_table/openl_append_table response, or refresh via openl_list_tables(). | |
| position | Yes | 0-based index of the first column to delete (1..width-1). The leading-label column (0) cannot be deleted. Columns to the right of the deleted block shift left. | |
| projectId | Yes | Project ID returned by backend. Use the exact 'projectId' value from openl_list_projects() response without modification or reformatting. | |
| response_format | No | Response format: 'json' for structured, round-trippable data (default), 'markdown' for human-readable output, 'markdown_concise' for a brief summary (1-2 paragraphs), or 'markdown_detailed' for full details with context | json |
