• https://api.sg.residency.elevenlabs.io (Production Singapore)

• mcp_server_id (string, required) — ID of the MCP Server.
• tool_name (string, required) — Name of the MCP tool to update config overrides for.

• environment (string, optional, default: production) — Environment whose values are used when the MCP server URL, headers, or auth connection reference environment variables. Mirrors the environment a conversation would run in; defaults to production.

• disable_interruptions (boolean, optional, nullable, deprecated) — DEPRECATED: use interruption_mode instead. If set, overrides the server's disable_interruptions setting for this tool.

'workspace_default' = the workspace-wide everyone group is listed in role_to_group_ids (every non-anon workspace member, including admins, sees this resource). 'workspace_admin' = caller is a workspace admin and the admin seat is the only path to access; reserved for docs nobody else can see.
