Set how many days the repository keeps artifacts by default, and at most: days, from 1 to 90.

PUT/repos/{owner}/{name}/actions/permissions/artifact-and-log-retention

Artifacts already uploaded keep the expiry they were given. Needs the Maintain role.

Only artifacts uploaded afterwards are kept the new number of days. A workflow’s retention-days asks for fewer, never more.

  • Authentication: Required. Send an access token as Authorization: Bearer.
  • MCP tool: workflow with action set_artifact_retention, and the same inputs
  • Scope: An access token needs workflows:write.
Name Type Required Description
owner string Yes The workspace that owns the repository.
name string Yes The repository’s name.

Send a JSON object. Names are snake_case, as in responses; the camelCase spelling is accepted too.
