Update Knowledge Connector

Update connector source configuration, schedule, or active state. Replacing source configuration on a runnable connector queues an immediate synchronization; paused connectors retain the change without synchronizing until resumed. Source configuration cannot be replaced while synchronization is already in progress. Authentication material cannot be changed through this operation. Workspace API keys return 403; use a personal API key or scoped OAuth token.

OAuth scope: api:write.

PATCH/api/v2/knowledge/{knowledgeBaseId}/connectors/{connectorId}
X-API-Key<token>

Your Sim API key, personal or workspace-scoped. Generate one under Settings, then API Keys. Operations that reject workspace keys say so in their own description.
