## Description

Updates attribute values on an in-flight Ironclad workflow. The workflow must be in the Review step; document/file-type attributes are not supported. Provide `updates` as a flat JSON object of attribute key to new value — each pair is converted to Ironclad's internal `{action: "set", path, value}` update format automatically. Run **Search Workflows** or **Get Workflow** first to find the `workflowId`, then run **Get Workflow** to see current attribute keys and values, or **Describe Workflow Template** for the attribute format reference (complex types like `monetaryAmount`, `address`, `date`, `duration`). Example: set `workflowId` to `"wf_xyz789"` and `updates` to `{"contractValue": {"currency": "USD", "amount": 75000}, "renewalDate": "2027-01-01"}`; the action confirms the update was applied. [See the documentation](https://developer.ironcladapp.com/reference/update-workflow-metadata)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `workflowId` | `string` | Yes | The identifier of a workflow. Obtain via Search Workflows. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `updates` | `string` | Yes | JSON object of attribute key to new-value pairs to set on the workflow. Run Get Workflow first to discover current attribute keys and types, and Describe Workflow Template for complex-type value shapes. Example: {"contractValue": {"currency": "USD", "amount": 75000}, "renewalDate": "2027-01-01"}. |
| `comment` | `string` | No | A comment explaining the updates being made to the workflow. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "ironclad",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "ironclad-update-workflow",
  arguments: {
    workflowId: "Workflow ID",
    updates: "Updates",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "ironclad-update-workflow",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    ironclad: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    workflowId: "Workflow ID",
    updates: "Updates",
  },
})

console.log(result)
```
