Overview

Partial update: omitted fields are unchanged. Requires the portfolios:manage scope.

Path Parameters

id · string · required

Watch ID (wat_*).

Body Parameters

All fields optional.

name · string

1-255 chars.

query · object

Replace the entire saved query DSL. Same validation rules as Create Watch.

delivery_mode · string

Only always_per_alert is accepted (same as Create Watch).

status · string

active or paused. Use Pause / Resume instead when you just want to toggle evaluation, they’re equivalent but read more clearly in your own code. A third status, disabled, exists but isn’t settable here: it’s the state a watch moves to when you delete it, and it’s excluded from List Watches by default.

metadata · object

Free-form metadata.

Response

Returns the updated Watch.

Errors

Status	type	When
400	validation_error	Invalid query, an unsupported delivery_mode, or an unsupported status value
404	not_found	Watch doesn’t exist or belongs to another org
