Update settings

Sets which attributes an index can be filtered on.

PATCH /v1/index/indexes/{uid}/settings

Addresshttps://api.hanzo.ai/v1/index/indexes/{uid}/settings
MethodPATCH
Operationpatch_index_indexes_by_uid_settings
AuthAuthorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY

Sets which attributes an index can be filtered on.

Replaces the whole filterable set. An attribute not listed here cannot be used in a search filter, so this is what makes a per-user or per-tag narrowing possible at all.

It CREATES the index when it is missing rather than answering 404, because a Meilisearch client configures settings on an index it has just asked for and a refusal there leaves the client with no index at all.

The 202 and its enqueued task are DIALECT COMPATIBILITY, not a promise of later work: the setting is already applied when this answers.

Request

2 fields, body application/json (required).

FieldInTypeRequiredDescription
uidpathstringyes
filterableAttributesbodystring[]—FilterableAttributes replaces the whole filterable set.

Response

StatusBodyMeaning
202index.indexEnqueuedaccepted
defaultproblem-detailsrefused

202 body — 5 fields.

FieldInTypeAlwaysDescription
enqueuedAtbodystring—EnqueuedAt is when the task was recorded, RFC 3339 — which is also when it completed.
indexUidbodystring—IndexUID names the index the write landed in.
statusbodystring—Status is always enqueued, for dialect compatibility.
taskUidbodyinteger (int64)—TaskUID identifies the task for a client that polls it.
typebodystring—Type is the dialect's name for the kind of write: indexCreation, indexDeletion, settingsUpdate, documentAdditionOrUpdate, documentDeletion.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches index through the index tool, which names its 14 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_index_health"
         }
       }
     }'
