Update Simple Content
notion_update_contentIdempotent
Update an existing Notion block by providing its block ID and simplified content. The block type must match the current type to avoid rejection.
Instructions
Update an existing Notion block without writing raw Notion block JSON. Use this after notion_read_page gives you a block ID and you need to replace the text or simple fields of an existing paragraph, heading, list item, todo, quote, callout, or code block. The item.type must match the block's current type; this tool will reject mismatches so the model can correct itself.
