`PATCH /v1/raiz/facts/{factId}`

Confirm or reject a recorded fact: `confirmed` vouches for it; `rejected` withdraws it, and the previous assertion becomes current again. The history records who reviewed it.

- **Scope:** `raiz:facts:write`
- **Credentials:** an API key, a client-credentials token or a person's access token
- **Effect:** writes; idempotent, safe to retry
- **Limits:** request body up to 32 KB, response up to 1 MB
- **CLI:** `arbol raiz facts update` · **MCP tool:** `raiz_facts_update`

## Authentication

Requires one of the following:

- `arbolHuman`, oauth2, scopes: `raiz:facts:write`
