The MCP server is in public beta. It is open to use and still being refined, so tools and behavior may change.
Tool update_vault_column · Behavior Destructive
Change a vault column’s heading, extraction instructions, type, or options. Send only what should change. Only a custom column can be changed; GC AI owns the built-in and system columns and refuses. Changing the type of an AI column re-reads the documents that already have a value for it, which counts against the daily re-analysis limit, so the result says what happened to that re-scan.
