Update a post
Change the title, content, tags, access or excerpt of an existing post.
PATCH https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/ghost/posts/{post_id}
write Confirm
Returns the updated post. The tool reads the post first and refuses to overwrite it if someone saved it in the meantime. On a published post the change is visible to readers at once, which is why it asks. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

| post_id string required | string | Post ID from list_posts. |
| title string | string | New title. |
