When to Use:
Correcting a logged entry's start/end, re-tagging it, or reassociating it with a different task.
When NOT to Use:
To manage tags across the whole Workspace (rename/remove the tag itself) — use
clickup_rename_time_entry_tag/clickup_remove_time_entry_tagsinstead; this tool only changes which tags are on this entry.To stop a running timer — use
clickup_stop_time_entry.
Returns: A confirmation string, including the updated entry's detail when the API returns one.
Examples: params = {"team_id": "123", "time_entry_id": "abc", "tags": [{"name": "billing"}], "tag_action": "add"} params = {"team_id": "123", "time_entry_id": "abc", "start": 1700000000000, "end": 1700003600000}
Error Handling:
400 means start/end were given without their pair, or more than one
tag action was implied; 404 means the time_entry_id doesn't exist.
