Edit an Edge Function. Change part of a deployed backend Edge Function by exact text replacement (old_text → new_text, or edits for several) and redeploy it — on the draft backend while drafting, else LIVE; the source is saved to the repo too. source_sha256 is REQUIRED: the value willo_get_function returned, so you only edit the version you read (a stale one is refused). Runs without a card like in chat (one-click undo from the dashboard), except a function with admin powers and no caller check, which is refused until public_admin_reason and then needs a person's approval. summary is required.
Access
- Token: read + act, and editor access or higher on the business.
- Approval: Only when Willo's chat would stop for the same action. The description says when; otherwise the call runs at once.
- Secret scan: refused if the new content holds a value shaped like an API key or token.
- Metered: counts toward a per-business, per-minute limit for this kind of call. See Limits.
