API referenceKnowledge bases

Update a knowledge base or its attached agents

agentIds is the COMPLETE attachment set, not a delta: send the full list every time, omit the key to leave attachments untouched, send an empty array to detach it from everything.

Requires the write scope. A key with less gets 403 insufficient_scope.

PATCH
/v1/knowledge-bases/{id}
AuthorizationBearer <token>

Authorization: Bearer tone_live_… or tone_test_…. The prefix IS the environment: a test key reaches only the sandbox, and no request field bridges the two.
