# Set or clear a task's display title (session rename)

`PATCH /api/tasks/{id}/title`

Sets a human-facing display title override on a task. The sessions UI only reads this from root tasks (session list items), but titles on child tasks are harmless. Pass `title: null` (or an empty string) to clear the override and fall back to the task prompt.
