Update form access
Close a form, set open and expiration dates, a submission limit or a closed message.
MCP tool fillout_write → update_form_access
write Confirm
Changes the Access settings of one form: Close form, Form open date, Form expiration date, Form submission limit and Custom form closed message. Only the fields you pass change; pass null to clear one. Closing a form stops new submissions at once, so respondents see the closed message. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
