Disable the history snapshot task
**Behaviour flags:**
`--dry-run` — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

## Options

<definitions>
  <definition term="--clear-history-snapshots">
    When `true`, deletes existing history snapshot indices for this space in the background after the task is disabled. The response returns immediately and does not wait for deletion to finish. Deletion failures are logged and are not returned to the caller. If the task is already disabled, the request succeeds and does not delete indices. Defaults to `false`.

    path to a JSON file to use as command input

  <definition term="--dry-run">
    validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)
  </definition>
  <definition term="--no-validate">
    skip input validation and send the request as-is
  </definition>
</definitions>
