Update a project
Update a project. Fields you leave out keep their value. Needs the projects:write permission.
modapi projects update [id] [flags]
modapi projects update --id <id>
--body string Request body as JSON (alternative to individual flags). Can also be provided via stdin; @path reads a file, @- reads stdin to EOF. Use --schema to print the exact JSON Schema.
--casebook-enabled Whether review queue decisions are recorded in the casebook.
--context string What the platform is and who uses it.
--description string The project's description.
--domain string The website or app the project moderates content for. Setting it on a project without context writes one.
-e, --enable-request-logging Whether moderated content is stored and shown in the dashboard.
-g, --global-flagging-mode string 'ACTIVE' flags content. 'DRY_RUN' evaluates without flagging. (options: DRY_RUN, ACTIVE)
-h, --help help for update
-i, --id string The ID of the project to update. (or pass it as the [id] argument)
-n, --name string The project's name.
--schema Print the exact JSON Schema of the request body and exit
--agent-mode Enable structured errors and default TOON output for AI coding agents. Automatically enabled when a known agent environment is detected (CLAUDECODE, CURSOR_AGENT, etc.). Use --agent-mode=false to disable.
--color string Control colored output: auto (color when output is a TTY), always, or never. Respects NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR env vars. (default "auto")
-d, --debug Log request and response diagnostics to stderr
--dry-run Preview API requests without sending them (no network, no OS keychain). Human preview on stderr; with -o json or --jq, one JSON object per request on stdout. Local mutation commands (auth login, auth logout and configure) make no request: they skip prompts and writes and report a no-op (stderr, or one JSON object on stdout in the machine form)
-H, --header stringArray Set a custom HTTP request header (format: "Key: Value"). Can be specified multiple times.
--include-headers Include HTTP response headers in the output
--interactive Prompt for missing inputs and open guided configure/auth forms (forms fall back to line prompts on stdin off-TTY) (default true)
-q, --jq string Filter and transform output using a jq expression (e.g., '.name', '.items[] | .id')
--no-interactive Disable all interactive features (auto-prompting, explorer auto-launch, TUI forms)
--no-keyring Never read or write the OS keychain; store secrets in the config file instead (env: MODAPI_NO_KEYRING)
-o, --output-format string Specify the output format. Options: pretty, json, yaml, table, toon. (default "pretty")
--raw-output Write --jq string results as raw text instead of JSON strings (like jq -r); non-string results stay JSON
--secret-key string HTTP Bearer
--server string Select a server by index (for indexed servers) or name (for named servers)
--server-url string Override the default server URL
--timeout string HTTP request timeout (e.g., 30s, 5m, 100ms)
--usage Print the CLI Usage schema in KDL format
