Createorupdateentity
createOrUpdateEntityCreate a catalog entity from a full YAML descriptor (OpenAPI-style, with the tag at info.x-cortex-tag), or update the entity that already has that tag. An update replaces the whole descriptor, so any key you leave out is removed. To change only some fields, use createOrPatchEntity. Pass mode=CREATE to fail instead of overwriting an existing entity. Pass dryRun=true to only validate the descriptor and see its errors and warnings.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| body | No | Raw text of the YAML See examples of cortex.yaml files for each entity type [here](https://docs.cortex.io/docs/reference/basics/entities#example-cortexyaml-for-service-entity) | |
| mode | No | Mode of operation: UPSERT (default) creates or updates existing entity, CREATE fails if entity already exists. | |
| dryRun | No | When true, this endpoint only validates the descriptor contents and returns any errors or warnings. | |
| context | Yes | Explain why you're invoking this tool now and how its output will be used. Then state how this call supports your *overall objective* and fits into your broader plan across all tool calls (e.g., why this tool vs. others, and what step it unblocks). Never share any personal details or sensitive information. | |
| session_id | Yes | Session continuity handle, one of two values: the ses_ ID issued for the task underway, or start. This server cannot link your calls between requests on its own, so session continuity travels in this parameter instead. If you were handed a session_id for this task — for example by the agent that spawned you — send that exact value from your first call. Otherwise send start on your first call; the server will issue an opaque correlation ID in the mcp_session field of the result, or in a text block at the start of the result beginning [session_id issued. Then send that exact ses_ value on every later call and hand it to any subagents working the same task. start always begins a new, unrelated task — never send it mid-task. If you send a value this server does not recognize, the result reports it: mcp_session.status of unrecognized, or a text block beginning [session_id unrecognized; re-send the ID issued for this task, or start if none was issued yet. Never invent a ses_ value. | |
| githubPullRequest | No | Add a comment with validation errors on the pull request with the given ID | |
| asyncUpdateWaitTimeMs | No | Maximum time (milliseconds) to wait for asynchronous property updates. Default is zero. |
