updateCollection

Rename a Collection in the current workspace.

MCP: updateCollection

Arguments

id ID! required: UUID of the Collection to update (as returned by createCollection / collections). Collection management is available only in workspaces whose Collections use the standard storage; where they use an older format the ids collections returns are not accepted here and the call returns a userError without changing anything.
input UpdateCollectionInput! required: Mutation input.

Returns

collection Collection: The updated Collection. Null on validation failure or when not found.
userErrors [UserError!]!: List of user-facing validation errors. Empty on success.
