Update Journey Node

updateJourneyNode
Idempotent

Update a node's configuration in an identity journey without changing the journey structure. Provide the full configuration to replace existing node settings.

Instructions

Update a single node's configuration without modifying the journey structure. This is a FULL REPLACEMENT of the node configuration - to preserve existing fields, first fetch the current configuration using getJourney, merge your changes, then call this tool with the complete configuration.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
realmYesThe realm containing the node
nodeTypeYesThe node type (e.g., "ScriptedDecisionNode")
nodeIdYesThe node instance UUID (from a previous read or create operation)
configYesThe complete node configuration to set. This is a full replacement - fetch current config first if you need to preserve existing fields.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by explicitly noting full replacement and the need to fetch current config, which supplements the 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?

Two sentences: first states the tool's primary function, second explains the critical behavioral caveat. No extraneous information.

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?

With 4 required parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main behavioral trait (full replacement) and prerequisite. It could mention expected return value, but not essential.

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 coverage is complete (100%) and descriptions are adequate. The description reiterates that the config parameter is a full replacement, providing minor additional context beyond the 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 clearly states it updates a single node's configuration without altering journey structure, emphasizing full replacement. This distinguishes it from siblings like updateJourney or deleteJourneyNodes.

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 explicit guidance on how to preserve existing fields by first fetching with getJourney, merging, then calling this tool. This explains the full replacement behavior, though no alternatives to other tools are mentioned.

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