# Terminate Execution

> Terminate a running execution.

This endpoint forcefully terminates a running execution. The execution will be
cancelled and its status will be updated to 'cancelled' in the database.

Args:
    execution_id: Execution UUID or Temporal workflow ID to terminate
    request: FastAPI request object (contains kubiya_token in state)
    terminate_request: Request body with termination reason
    organization: Current organization from auth
    db: Database session

Returns:
    TerminateWorkflowResponse with success status and termination timestamp

Raises:
    404: Execution not found
    403: Access denied (execution doesn't belong to organization)
    400: Cannot terminate execution (invalid status)
    500: Failed to terminate execution via Temporal
