}Update Brand Fact
Updates one brand fact’s text, source URL, or confidence. Only provided fields change; pass source_url: "" to clear the stored source. Changing the text creates a new fact (new id) and archives the current one; the new fact keeps the current review status and is the fact returned. Source URL and confidence edits update the fact in place and re-match the source to the internal link bank. Review status never changes through this endpoint. Requires a website-admin API key. Also available as the MCP tool update_brand_fact.
