The example business is Halverson Cycle & Repair, a bike shop with a repair workshop in Portland, Oregon. The reply is the one the tool really gives.

With these arguments

{
  "code": "autumn-sale",
  "url": "https://halversoncycle.example/sale"
}

What comes back

{
  "link": {
    "code": "autumn-sale",
    "short_url": "https://cncto.co/autumn-sale",
    "url": "https://halversoncycle.example/sale",
    "title": "Flyer, October",
    "paused": false,
    "blocked": false,
    "clicks": 0,
    "last_clicked_at": null,

  }
}

Use it when

A printed link should lead to a new page, or stop working for a while.

What it does

Send a short link somewhere else, retitle it, or pause it (a paused link shows a page saying so) and resume it. Give only what changes.

What comes back

The link as it now is. Every reply also carries cost_usd and balance_usd.

Inputs

Name	Type	What it is
`code`Required	string	The code after cncto.co/, e.g. "x7Kp2Qa". 3 to 40 characters.
`url`	string	8 to 2,000 characters.
`title`	string	Up to 200 characters.
`paused`	boolean

The call

Over MCP, call links_update on https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/links. Over REST:

Terminal

curl -X POST https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/links_update \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CONECTO_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code":"autumn-sale","url":"https://halversoncycle.example/sale"}'

When it refuses

A refused call costs nothing and says what to do next.

Code	When	What to do
`not_found`404	No short link of the business has that code.	Call links_list and use one of its codes.
`invalid_input`400	The url is not an http(s) address with a full domain, points at a short link, or is not on the public internet.	Send a full address like https://halversoncycle.example/bikes.

Give this to your agent.
