Procore MCP Server

Update Company Folder

update_company_folder
Idempotent

Update an existing company folder in Procore, modifying only the provided fields. Requires the folder ID and company ID; errors like 404 indicate an invalid ID, so list folders first.

Instructions

Updates an existing company folder for the specified Procore company. Send only the fields you intend to change; omitted fields keep their current values. Pass the record's fields as top-level arguments — they are nested under "folder" in the request payload for you. company_id defaults to the value set by procore_set_config when omitted, and id must identify an existing parent record — resolve it with the matching list tool first. Returns the modified company folder 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: company_id, id, name. Procore API: Core > Documents. Endpoint: PATCH /rest/v1.0/companies/{company_id}/folders/{id}

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesURL path parameter — unique identifier of the Documents resource
nameYesJSON request body field — the Name of the folder
parent_idNoJSON request body field — the ID of the parent folder to create the folder in. If not set the folder will be created under the root folder.
company_idYesURL path parameter — unique identifier for the company.
is_trackedNoJSON request body field — status if a folder should be tracked (true/false)
explicit_permissionsNoJSON request body field — set folder to private (true/false)
custom_field_%{custom_field_definition_id}NoJSON request body field — value of the custom field. The data type of the value passed in corresponds with the data_type of the Custom Field Definition. For a lov_entry data_type the value passed in should be the ID of one ...
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint: false, destructiveHint: false), the description adds rich behavioral details: partial update semantics ('send only fields you intend to change'), payload nesting under 'folder', company_id defaulting, and common HTTP error codes (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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Every sentence earns its place: operation, update semantics, payload handling, defaults, prerequisites, success/failure behavior, and endpoint. No fluff or repetition; compact yet comprehensive.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With 7 parameters, no output schema, and annotations that only hint at mutability, the description fully compensates. It explains the return value, error payloads, defaults, and prerequisites, making the tool's behavior and failure modes clear for an agent.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Adds meaning beyond the 100% schema coverage: clarifies that id must reference an existing parent record and be resolved via a list tool, that company_id defaults to the procore_set_config value, and that record fields are top-level arguments automatically nested under 'folder'. This contextual logic is absent from the raw 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?

The description opens with 'Updates an existing company folder for the specified Procore company' – a specific verb, resource, and scope. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create_company_folder and delete_company_folder by emphasizing 'existing' and the PATCH operation, reinforced by the explicit endpoint.

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?

Provides clear context: update an existing folder, resolve id with the matching list tool first, and company_id defaults to config. It does not explicitly name alternative tools for creation or deletion, but the 'existing' qualifier and patch instructions make the intended use unambiguous. Lacks an explicit 'when-not-to-use' statement.

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