Tool name update_alert. It takes the same input and returns the same { data, meta } envelope as REST, because both call the same function.
Change an alert rule. Only the fields you pass change.

}
}Authorization
Requires the alerts:write scope. A credential without it gets 403 FORBIDDEN. Resources in projects the credential cannot reach answer 404 NOT_FOUND rather than 403, so ids cannot be probed across tenants.
Send an Idempotency-Key header. A completed response is replayed for 24 hours, so a retry after a timeout cannot create a duplicate.
