# chiefOfStaff.servers.update

Change how the Chief of Staff behaves in one Discord server: turn it on or off there, choose how it replies in channels that don't say otherwise, a default profile, and instructions for the whole server. Pass the server's revision as expectedRevision (0 the first time). Only the platform owner's workspace has a Chief of Staff. Administrator access required.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `guildId` | string | Yes | Matches ^\d{17,20}$. |
| `name` | string or null |  | A display name. |
| `enabled` | boolean |  | Off keeps the Chief of Staff out of the whole server: no replies and no scheduled posts. |
| `replyMode` | enum |  | How it replies in channels that don't say otherwise: conversation (answers mentions and replies and may join in on threads it follows), mentions (only when mentioned or replied to) or off. One of: `conversation`, `mentions`, `off`. |
| `defaultProfileId` | enum or null |  | The profile for channels whose name picks none. Null uses the agent's default (general). One of: `general`, `hackathon`, `organizer`, `news`. |
| `instructions` | string |  | Extra instructions the Chief of Staff follows there, in plain words. Empty clears them. at most 2000 characters. |
| `expectedRevision` | integer |  | The revision you last read: 0 for something never saved. A different revision means someone else changed it first. 0 to 9007199254740990. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
