Update Project Folder

update_project_folder
Idempotent

Update a Procore project folder's properties—name, parent, tracking, private status, or custom fields—using the folder ID and project ID. Send only the fields you want to change.

Instructions

Update the specified folder. 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. id must identify an existing parent record — resolve it with the matching list tool first. Returns the modified project 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: id, project_id. Procore API: Core > Documents. Endpoint: PATCH /rest/v1.0/folders/{id}

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesURL path parameter — unique identifier of the Documents resource
nameNoJSON request body field — the Name of the folder
parent_idNoJSON request body field — the ID of the parent folder to move the folder to.
is_trackedNoJSON request body field — status if a folder should be tracked (true/false)
project_idYesQuery string parameter — unique identifier for the project.
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 annotations, it reveals partial-update semantics (omitted fields kept), request payload nesting (top-level arguments are wrapped under 'folder'), the success return value, and failure HTTP statuses (401/403/404). These are valuable operational details with no contradiction to 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: behavior, prerequisite, return, errors, required params, and endpoint context. It is dense but not padded, and front-loads the core purpose.

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 params, no output schema, and helpful annotations, the description supplies the essential invocation details: id resolution, partial update, error payload, return value, and endpoint. Parameter types are left to the schema, which fully covers them.

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 covers all 7 parameters, so the description adds meaning by noting id must be an existing parent record, project_id is required, and fields are top-level but nested under 'folder' in the payload. This clarifies how to pass parameters beyond schema descriptions.

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 'Update the specified folder,' a specific verb+resource statement. It further identifies the API endpoint (PATCH /rest/v1.0/folders/{id}) and tool area, clearly distinguishing it from sibling create/list/show/delete folder tools.

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 instructs users to send only intended fields for a partial update and to resolve id via the matching list tool first, and lists required parameters. It does not explicitly contrast with alternative folder operations, but the context is clear.

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