## Description

Update a post's metadata and access settings via the `updatePost` GraphQL mutation, returning the updated post object. Manages link access (sharing), owner, archived/published state, and banner. NOTE: this mutation does NOT change title or content; use **Update Post Content** for the body (there is no title-update field in the schema). Run **Search Posts** first to obtain the post ID. Example: postId `abc123`, archived `true` returns `{"id":"abc123","title":"Q3 Onboarding Guide","archivedAt":"2026-01-01T00:00:00Z","linkAccess":"INTERNAL"}`. [See the documentation](https://studio.apollographql.com/public/Slab/variant/current/schema/reference/objects/RootMutationType#updatePost).

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `postId` | `string` | Yes | ID of the post to update. Run Search Posts first to obtain the ID. |
| `linkAccess` | `string` | No | Share-link access level (PostLinkAccess enum). One of: DISABLED, INTERNAL, INTERNAL_VIEW, PUBLIC, PUBLIC_EDIT. |
| `ownerId` | `string` | No | ID of the user to set as the post owner. Run List Users first to obtain a valid ID (e.g. u1). |
| `archived` | `boolean` | No | Set to true to archive the post, false to unarchive. Reversible. |
| `published` | `boolean` | No | Set to true to publish the post, false to unpublish. |
| `bannerUrl` | `string` | No | URL of a banner image to set on the post. |

## 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": "slab",
      },
    },
  },
)

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: "slab-update-post",
  arguments: {
    postId: "Post ID",
    linkAccess: "Link Access",
  },
})
```

  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "slab-update-post",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    slab: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
