update_item_property

Sets one property of an item to a new value, using the friendly REST property names — e.g. text, fontSize, fillColor, strokeColor, angle, or position = {x,y} / size = {width,height}. The item type is resolved automatically; pass itemType to skip the lookup.

Tool name: update_item_property

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
projectId	string	Yes	—	Target project (map) id.
itemId	string	Yes	—	Id of the item to update.
propertyName	string	Yes	—	Property name, e.g. "text", "fillColor", "angle".
value	any	Yes	—	New value — string, number, boolean, or object as appropriate.
itemType	string	No	Auto-resolved	One of label, sticky-note, shape, connector, image, web, svg, document.

Common Properties

Property	Value shape	Applies to
text	string (plain text or HTML)	labels, stickies

fillColor	CSS color string	shapes

The full per-type field reference is available via get_data_model.

Returns

{ "updated": true, "itemId": "11aa22bb-...", "propertyName": "text" }

Example

"Rotate the hexagon by 45 degrees."

{
  "projectId": "a1b2c3d4-...",
  "itemId": "77gg88hh-...",
  "propertyName": "angle",
  "value": 45
}

For color and font changes, style_item is usually more convenient — it maps fields to the right property per item type automatically.
