> Set a photo's title, description and tags. Input schema, a tools/call example and an example result.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/flickr/update_photo

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Set a photo's title, description and tags.

Flickr MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/flickr.md

MCP tool: `flickr_write → update_photo`

Access: write.

Changes the title, description and tags of one of your photos and leaves who can see it as it is. Set tags_mode to add to keep existing tags, or replace to swap them. update_photo runs without asking first: it reaches nobody new and is undone with one more call.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `photo_id` | string | yes | Photo ID from list_photos. |
| `title` | string | no | New title. Leave out to keep the current one. |
| `description` | string | no | New description. Leave out to keep the current one. |
| `tags` | array | no | Tags as a list of strings. |
| `tags_mode` | enum | no | add or replace. Default: add. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
