# update_api_key

Rename a company-scoped API key or replace its permissions in place, without issuing a new key. Use this when a call fails with a missing-scope error: the key value stays the same, so no client has to be re-wired, and added permissions apply on the next retry. Removed permissions may remain usable for up to five minutes while API caches expire. preset and scopes REPLACE the current selection rather than merging into it - call list_api_keys first and pass the full set you want. Returns non-secret metadata only.
