# Update App

`PATCH /v1/apps/{app_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.shapemaker.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.shapemaker.io/v1/apps/{app_id}`
- Auth: OAuth 2
  - Password
  - Token URL: `/v1/auth`

Only the description is editable. The name is the app's identity in
`app:<name>` audit attribution, so renaming would rewrite history.
