Authorizations
App key issued from the Flashduty console under Account → APP Keys. Required on every public API call. Keep it secret — it grants the same access as the owning account.
Body
Parameters for updating an inhibit rule.
Channel the rule belongs to.
Inhibit rule ID (MongoDB ObjectID).
^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$Rule name, 1 to 39 characters.
1 - 39Label keys used to pair source and target alerts.
Evaluation priority. Lower runs first.
Rule description, up to 500 characters.

When true, suppressed target alerts are dropped instead of merged.
Response
Success
Success response envelope. On every 2xx response, request_id identifies the call (also mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id header) and data holds the endpoint-specific payload. Failure responses use a different shape — see ErrorResponse.
