Update Asset

update_asset_project
Idempotent

Partially update an existing project asset in Procore. Send only fields to change with asset_id, company_id, project_id. Omitted fields stay unchanged. Returns modified asset.

Instructions

Updates the project asset model based on keys in the request body. Send only the fields you intend to change; omitted fields keep their current values. company_id and project_id default to the values set by procore_set_config when omitted, and asset_id must identify an existing parent record — resolve it with the matching list tool first. Returns the modified asset on success. Failures come back as an error payload carrying the HTTP status — commonly 401 when the token has expired, 403 without tool permission, and 404 when an id does not resolve. Required parameters: asset_id, company_id, project_id. Procore API (v2.0): Core > Assets. Endpoint: PATCH /rest/v2.0/companies/{company_id}/projects/{project_id}/assets/{asset_id}

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
notesNoJSON request body field — notes by context. Keys are context identifiers; value is the note text. Supported keys: "asset_status" (stored only when status is changed in this request), "project_assignment" (stored when provid...
asset_idYesURL path parameter — unique identifier for the asset
latitudeNoJSON request body field — latitude must be provided together with longitude, or both must be omitted. Pass null to clear.
trade_idNoJSON request body field — trade ID. Pass null to clear the value.
longitudeNoJSON request body field — longitude must be provided together with latitude, or both must be omitted. Pass null to clear.
asset_codeNoJSON request body field — unique identifier for the asset (also referred to as asset_code in API)
asset_nameNoJSON request body field — name of the asset
company_idYesURL path parameter — unique identifier for the company.
project_idYesURL path parameter — unique identifier for the project.
descriptionNoJSON request body field — description of the asset. Pass null to clear the value.
location_idNoJSON request body field — location ID. Pass null to clear the value.
asset_type_idNoJSON request body field — asset type ID. Must have Is Asset enabled for that type. If asset type is changed, all custom fields will be reset and only the ones provided in this request will be set.
custom_fieldsNoJSON request body field — custom fields map with merge semantics. Key: 'custom\_field\_{id}'. Only fields included in this map will be updated - absent fields remain unchanged. To remove a specific field, set its value to n...
Accept-LanguageNoJSON request body field — locale for localized response messages (for example: en, fr-FR, pseudo)
asset_status_idNoJSON request body field — unique identifier of the asset status
parent_asset_idNoJSON request body field — parent asset ID. Pass null to remove parent (make standalone). The parent must exist, belong to the same company, and be in the same asset type hierarchy.
profile_image_idNoJSON request body field — profile image FAS ID. Pass null to clear the value.
cascade_ancestorsNoJSON request body field — when the new parent (or any of its ancestors) is at company scope or on a different project than the child, opt in to cascade-pull those ancestors into the child's project. Defaults to false (retur...
wrap_custom_fieldsNoQuery string parameter — when true, wraps each custom field value as {"value": ...} and renames "name" to "label" inside LOV objects.
acknowledge_warningsNoQuery string parameter — when true, acknowledges field-default warnings and applies default values for read-only fields whose current value differs from the configured default.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=true; the description adds behavior beyond that: PATCH partial-update behavior, defaulting from procore_set_config, return of modified asset, and common error statuses (401/403/404). No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is slightly long but each sentence earns its place: behavior, defaults, prerequisite, return, errors, required params, and endpoint. It is well-structured with no filler, though it could be tighter.

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?

For a tool with 20 parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose, partial-update behavior, defaulting, ID resolution, return value, error modes, and endpoint. The extensive schema descriptions cover the remaining parameter-specific details, so the description is fairly complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% and each parameter already has rich detail (latitude/longitude pairing, null-to-clear, custom_fields merge semantics). The description adds global parameter behavior (partial update, config defaults for company_id/project_id) that is not visible from individual schema fields.

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?

The description clearly states a specific action ('Updates') on a specific resource ('the project asset model'), and the endpoint PATCH /rest/v2.0/companies/{company_id}/projects/{project_id}/assets/{asset_id} explicitly defines scope. It distinguishes from create/delete/list siblings and from the company-scoped update_asset_company by specifying 'project asset model'.

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?

It provides clear usage context: partial update semantics ('Send only the fields you intend to change'), config defaults for company_id/project_id, and a prerequisite ('resolve it with the matching list tool first'). It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool, so it misses the top bar.

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