Terminates one of the caller org's machines. Visor takes the
machine identity as owner+name, and the owner is the validated principal, so a
caller can only ever terminate its own tenant's machine. Answers 204.

## Request

1 field.

| Field | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                                                    |

| `id`  | path | string | yes      | ID is the machine's org-scoped NAME — the stable key Visor addresses a machine by (owner/name), not the ephemeral provider id. |

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo compute machines rm <id>
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, ComputeApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new ComputeApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.deleteMachine({ id: 'id' });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import ComputeApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = ComputeApi(client).delete_machine(id='id')
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.ComputeAPI.DeleteMachine(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, compute_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = compute_api::delete_machine(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.ComputeApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new ComputeApi(client).deleteMachine();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X DELETE https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/compute/machines/<id> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY"
```

**MCP**

Tool `compute`, op `deleteMachine` — POST the JSON-RPC envelope to `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp`.

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

           "input": {
             "id": "<id>"
           }
         }
       }
