Update a worker template

$ handinger workers update

PATCH/api/workers/{workerId}

Update a worker’s instructions, title, summary, visibility, or output schema. Only the fields you send are changed; omitted fields keep their current values. Only the worker creator can update a worker.

ParametersExpand Collapse

--worker-id: string

Worker id returned by the create worker endpoint.

--instructions: optional string

Replaces the persistent system prompt. Subsequent tasks pick up the new instructions immediately; in-flight tasks keep using the previous version.

--output-schema: optional map[unknown]

Replace the worker’s structured output schema. Pass null to clear it and return to free-form text responses.

--summary: optional string

Replaces the worker’s short one-line summary.

--title: optional string

New display name for the worker.

--visibility: optional "public" or "private"

Change visibility between public (any org member can run tasks) and private (only invited members).
