In AI assistants, the MCP server runs this action as the withdraw_connection_request tool.

linkedin connection withdraw <url> [flags]

• label (optional) – custom label for tracking this action in workflow completion.
• personUrl (required for root start, forbidden for parent start) – public or hashed LinkedIn URL of the person you want to withdraw the connection request from.
• unfollow (optional) – boolean indicating whether you want to unfollow the person when withdrawing the request. The default value is false: if you omit it, the request is withdrawn and you keep following the person. The CLI is the exception – linkedin connection withdraw sends true unless you pass --no-unfollow.
