Update custom field definition MCP tool

Update a workspace custom field definition's name, placeholder text, or required flag. The field type cannot be changed after creation.

Examples

Resolve the definition with Search custom field definitions first. Only the arguments you include change. field_type is not accepted: a field's type is fixed when it is created, so to change it, delete the definition and create a new one.

Rename a field and make it required

    "custom_field_definition_id": "<custom_field_definition_govtribe_id>",
    "name": "Ceiling Value",
    "required": true
  }
}

Clear the placeholder text

  "tool": "Update_Custom_Field_Definition",
  "arguments": {
    "custom_field_definition_id": "<custom_field_definition_govtribe_id>",
    "placeholder_text": null

Update contact group

Update memories

Updates an existing durable user memory after locating the correct entry; prefer updating canonical memories over creating duplicates. Can revise memory text, reinforce or weaken memories, or set a future expires_at review date. Legacy memories without a future review date must include expires_at before they can be updated.
