Update Workspace (Platform MCP)

Updates the name, description, kind, or account product association of an existing workspace using the Platform MCP.

Use this tool to modify the properties of an existing workspace. You can rename it, update its description, change its kind (open, closed, or template), or move it to a different account product. Only the id is required—all other attributes are optional and only the fields you provide will be updated.

Note: You must have admin or owner permissions on the workspace to update it. Changing workspaceKind from open to closed will restrict visibility to current members only.

  "id": "15420091",
  "attributeName": "Product Team Q3 (Archive)",
  "attributeDescription": "Archived workspace for Q3 product roadmap"
}

When tested, this returned: Workspace 15420091 updated with the new name reflected immediately. Unspecified fields were left unchanged.
