curl "https://herculeradar.com/api/v1/categories/:id" \

MCP

Tool name update_category. It takes the same input and returns the same { data, meta } envelope as REST, because both call the same function.

Change the label, description or enabled flag for a filing category.

Parameters

idrequiredstringCategory enum

Request body

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "label": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "enabled": {
      "type": "boolean"
    }
  }
}

Response

{
  "data": {
    "category": "complaint",
    "label": "Rage"
  },
  "meta": {
    "capability": "update_category",
    "requestId": "req_9f2b4a8c1d0e",
    "idempotencyReplayed": false,
    "docs": "https://herculeradar.com/docs/reference/update_category"
  }
}

Authorization

Requires the mentions: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.
