Notion MCP Server

by SadaaYogee

Update Simple Content Batch

notion_update_content_batch
Idempotent

Update multiple existing Notion blocks in batch by providing block IDs and simplified content. Validates each block type before applying changes to avoid errors.

Instructions

Update multiple existing Notion blocks without writing raw Notion block JSON. Use this after notion_read_page when the user wants several simple text edits at once. The server retrieves every target block and validates all item.type values before applying updates, so block type mistakes fail before any write is attempted.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
formatNoSpecify the response format. 'json' returns the original data structure, 'markdown' returns a more readable format. Use 'markdown' when the user only needs to read the page and isn't planning to write or modify it. Use 'json' when the user needs to read the page with the intention of writing to or modifying it.
updatesYesBatch of existing blocks to update. Keep batches reviewable and use block IDs from notion_read_page.
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond annotations (idempotent, not destructive), description reveals pre-write validation: retrieves target blocks and validates types before applying updates, preventing partial failures from type mismatches.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no redundancy. First sentence states purpose, second adds behavioral detail and usage guidance. All content earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Purpose, usage, and behavior are covered. Lacks output description (no output schema), which may require agent to infer return value. Otherwise complete for a batch update tool with descriptive input schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. Description adds context that updates are 'simple text edits' and uses block IDs from notion_read_page, but does not add significant semantic detail beyond schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states the action: 'Update multiple existing Notion blocks without writing raw Notion block JSON'. It specifies the resource (blocks) and the operation (batch update), and distinguishes from siblings that require raw JSON or single updates.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly advises using after notion_read_page for multiple simple text edits. Provides context but does not list when not to use or mention alternatives for single edits.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
