Follow-up to vectorize-io#1168: update_bank now accepts config_updates with all bank-configurable fields (reflect_mission, retain_*, disposition_*, entity_labels, recall_*, mcp_enabled_tools, etc.). Existing docs only showed name + mission; callers had to read mcp_tools.py to discover the full surface. Mirrored to skills/hindsight-docs/references/developer/mcp-server.md per the dual-doc convention (vectorize-io#1137).

It also deprecated the standalonemissionparameter to an alias forconfig_updates.reflect_mission.hindsight-docs/docs/developer/mcp-server.mdstill described the tool as "Update a memory bank's metadata" with onlynameandmissionin the parameter table — users had to readhindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/mcp_tools.pyto discover the full configuration surface.Changes
update_bankintro from "metadata" to "configuration" with the "only provided fields are updated" guarantee from fix(mcp): route update_bank through config resolver, expose all fields #1168.config_updates(object) to the parameter table with the rejection semantics (non-configurable/credential fields are rejected).missionas Deprecated and link it toconfig_updates.reflect_mission.mcp_tools.py.Mirrored to
