Bulk Update Chunks

Enable, disable, or delete multiple chunks in one best-effort request. Unknown chunk IDs appear in errors without failing the request; processed counts matched chunks, not changes. Connector-synced chunks are read-only and return 403 with error.details.code: "CONNECTOR_MANAGED_RESOURCE_READ_ONLY"; change the source and re-sync, or exclude the document. Workspace API keys return 403; use a personal API key or scoped OAuth token.

OAuth scope: api:write.
