#Returned by

Method	Scope	What it does
`agents.memory_stores.delete`	`agents:write`	Deletes a memory store. A store an agent names is refused with `RESOURCE_IN_USE`; a store with memories is refused with `INVALID_STATE` unless `force` is set, which deletes them too.
`knowledge.knowledge_schemas.delete`	`knowledge:write`	Deletes a knowledge schema. A schema a space still accepts is refused with `RESOURCE_IN_USE`.
`money.store_purchases.verify`	`billing:write`	Verifies a store purchase with the store, binds it to the subject, and returns its record and a signed grant. Re-verifying returns the same record and grant. Called from the app's server with a secret key that holds `billing:write`; a publishable key cannot call it.
`money.store_purchases.client_verify`	`billing:client`	Verifies a store purchase for an app with no server: called with the environment's publishable key (`billing:client`), the subject is an install id (`inst_` and a UUID), and Money completes the purchase with the store (acknowledges or consumes it) so the app never calls the store's server API. Works only on store connections that set `client_verify`. Re-calling returns the same record and grant.
`notify.mailboxes.delete`	`notify:write`	Deletes a mailbox and its inbound email.
`notify.mailbox_oauth_apps.delete`	`notify:write`	Deletes a mailbox OAuth app; refused while a mailbox uses it.
`sandboxes.leases.create`	`sandboxes:write`	Creates a lease: granted now and returned READY (or GRANTED when `wait_ready` is false), or refused with a typed error. There is no queue.
`sandboxes.volumes.delete`	`sandboxes:write`	Deletes a volume and destroys its data. Refused RESOURCE_IN_USE while it is attached.
