I've created a new unpublished deposition for you. The Deposition ID is 1234567. You can now start adding creators or uploading files to this draft.

List all files currently attached to my deposition with ID 987654.

Checking deposition 987654... I found 3 files: 'raw_data.csv', 'analysis_script.py', and 'metadata.json'. Would you like to update any of these or add more?

No. The `delete_deposition` tool only works for unpublished depositions. Once a record is published on Zenodo, it is permanent to ensure scientific traceability.
