# update_generation

**Update a generation's details**

Rename, describe, tag, favourite or rate a generation. Send null for title or description to clear it and let the Organizer fill it in. Tags you send are the account's own and sit beside the Organizer's, never over them.

## Scope

- `generation.write` — Makes, edits, imports, shares and deletes media in the account.

## Behaviour

- **Writes**: Creates or changes items in the caller's own account.
- **Can delete or overwrite**: Can delete, overwrite, cancel or withdraw something the caller already has, so a host should confirm it.
- **Stays in the account**: Stays inside the caller's private Kuro account: any media provider it calls acts on Kuro's account, and the result is visible to no one else.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Details |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `generation_id` | string | yes | uuid |
| `title` | string or null | no | — |
| `description` | string or null | no | — |
| `user_tags` | array of string | no | at most 8 items |
| `favorite` | boolean | no | — |
| `quality_feedback` | string or null | no | — |

## Example call

A `tools/call` request with the required arguments only, each a placeholder read off the schema. Replace them before sending.

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "update_generation",
    "arguments": {
      "generation_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000"
    }
  }
}
```

## Input schema

As the server sends it in `tools/list`:

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "generation_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "format": "uuid"
    },

        },
        {
          "type": "null"
        }
      ]
    },
    "description": {
