destroy removes the current deployment described by the root lifecycle configuration, agentkit.yaml. In local mode it stops and removes the local container. In cloud and hybrid modes it deletes the recorded AgentKit Runtime and clears the corresponding deployment state.

destroy

This command deletes the container or cloud Runtime selected by the lifecycle configuration. Confirm that --config-file points to the intended project before proceeding; non-interactive execution requires --force.
In automation, add --force only after checking the target configuration. After completion, inspect the deployment record with agentkit status --config-file ./agentkit.yaml; for cloud targets, also check agentkit runtime list This command destroys a runtime rather than cleaning up every project resource. Check and manage registries, build artifacts, knowledge bases, memory collections, and release-created messaging proxies separately
