# update_objective

Update an existing objective's title, description, or year. Identify by objective_id or objective_title (preferred). If the title matches more than one active objective it refuses and lists them — pass objective_id to disambiguate. Use when the operator wants to rename or reword an objective or move it to another year — the OKR edit door for agents. [write-tier — first use may require a manager's approval; a from-now-on approval makes future calls seamless, a just-once approval re-asks next time.]

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "update_objective",
    "arguments": {
      "companyId": "<companyId>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why update_objective is rated Medium

This tool modifies OKR (Objectives and Key Results) data reversibly—updating titles, descriptions, and year assignments. These changes can be undone by subsequent updates.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Update[s] an existing objective's title, description, or year' and is explicitly labeled '[write-tier]' in the server documentation."

## Use case

AI agents use update_objective to create or update resources in Freedom Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Freedom Mcp environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Freedom Mcp:

```json

          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
