Action

This tool updates an existing record in attio for a specified object type (people, companies, deals, users, workspaces, etc.). it uses patch to partially update only the provided fields, leaving other fields unchanged.
Why this helps

- Reduces stale contact data
- Preserves existing Attio context
- Avoids manual record maintenance
