# Update a cron trigger

> Change any of name, enabled, schedule, timezone, payload and dataset (#165); each is checked as create checks it. A new schedule or time zone recomputes next_run_at, and so does resuming (enabled false to true), so a paused trigger does not fire at once on the next sweep for a time that passed while it was paused.

    Hookie exposes three HTTP surfaces.


    **Ingest + streaming** is the public plane. A path-form endpoint URL
    authenticates by its own high-entropy slug — there is no key, token or
    cookie — and an `ik_live_…` ingest key authenticates the `/v1/*` routes.
    Whenever the URL names a dataset the payload is stored whole into it;
    project mapping rules are evaluated on exactly one shape, `POST
    /v1/ingest/{ingest_key}` with no dataset segment.


    **The customer portal API** is a separate, token-authed surface for your end
    customers, scoped to one portal and one customer.


    **The admin API** drives the console. It accepts either a browser session or
    an OAuth bearer token from a connected coding agent — the same routes, the
    same validation, the same audit trail. An agent's authority is its user's
    workspace role narrowed to the scopes granted in the console.


    **A refused agent is told how to proceed.** An agent's grant is one rung of
    a ladder — `hookie:read` < `hookie:write` < `hookie:manage` — and a call
    above it answers 403 with `code: "agent_scope_insufficient"`, the
    `required_scope`, the `granted_scopes` and a `manage_url` to the console
    page where its user widens it. When the user's own role is the limit the
    code is `insufficient_role` and there is no link, because no grant can
    exceed the user; billing, platform admin, managing connected agents and
    destination signing secrets answer `agent_not_permitted` at every scope. A
    human in the console still reads `Insufficient role`.


    **A suspended workspace** (an operator action, for abuse or non-payment)
    answers every surface with 403 and `reason: "workspace_suspended"`: ingest
    (endpoint URLs and ingest keys), `/v1/data` and `/v1/stream` refuse before
    anything is stored or counted, and every admin API write — console, OAuth
    agent or hosted MCP alike — is refused except billing, platform admin,
    connected-agent management and the POST-bodied searches. The customer portal
    API is read-only in the same way: destination writes answer 403
    `workspace_suspended`. Reads keep working. Nothing is sent while it is
    suspended: pending deliveries are paused, workflow runs already under way
    are paused, open `/v1/stream` connections are closed, and cron triggers,
    database sources and WebSocket listeners stop. Reinstating sends the paused
    deliveries, resumes the paused workflow runs where they stopped, and resumes
    the rest; no stored data is lost.

            `workspace_suspended` (403): the workspace is suspended;
            `delivery_allowance_exhausted` (429): a replay was refused because
            the monthly delivery allowance is used. `endpoint_disabled` (503):
            the endpoint is switched off; `handshake_failed`: a provider
            URL-verification challenge could not be answered (#193).

          description: >-
            Present on a 403 to an OAuth-connected agent.
            `agent_scope_insufficient`: the agent's grant is below what the call
            needs, and widening it would let the call through (see
            `required_scope` and `manage_url`). `insufficient_role`: the user's
            OWN workspace role does not allow the call, so no grant can — a
            workspace owner or admin has to change the role.
            `agent_not_permitted`: no connected agent may do this at any scope
            (billing, platform admin, managing connected agents, a destination's
            signing secret).

        a bearer token is not ambient credentials.
