update_guide_metadata
Preview
This feature is in preview and is subject to change.
Change a Guide's title, description, or topic without appending a content version. The guide keeps its UUID and full version history.
Description
The update_guide_metadata tool lets you retitle or re-topic a guide without touching its content. Use it when a guide's title or grouping is outdated — for example after a team reorganization or a product rename.
Provide at least one of title, description, or topic.
To update content, use update_guide or edit_guide_content instead.
Input parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
uuid | string | Yes | The guide's UUID, as returned by list_guides or a previous mutation. |
title | string | No | New human-readable title. Must not be empty when supplied. |
description | string | No | New one-line summary. Pass an empty string ("") to clear it. |
topic | string | No | New grouping label — for example "revenue-billing" or "core/metrics" (no leading or trailing slash). Pass an empty string ("") to remove the topic. |

Example usage
Move a guide to a different topic:
Move the order filters guide from order-management to customer-orders
{
"uuid": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"topic": "customer-orders",
"title": "Customer Order Filters"
}
Update only the description:
{
"uuid": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"description": "MRR and ARR definitions, including expansion and churn adjustments"
}
Remove the topic (move the guide to the root level):
{
"uuid": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"topic": ""
}
