       ./CliTool.sh delete-destination -id $id
   done

Important Warnings

Before Deleting:

Verify destination is not used by active triggers/campaigns
Check if destination is referenced in pipelines
Consider disabling instead of deleting (future enhancement)
Back up destination configuration if you might need to recreate it

Referential Integrity:

If triggers reference this destination, deletion may fail with constraint violation
Check destination usage before deleting
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone

Exit Codes

0 " Success (destination deleted)
1 " Error (destination not found, referential constraint, connection error)
