# set_status

**Set status**

Set my Bonzai status update — a short "what's on your mind" note shown on my profile and to anyone who looks me up. Use when the user says things like "set my status to…", "update my status", or "let people know I'm…". Pass an empty status to clear it.

- **Category:** Session & identity
- **Access:** mutating (changes state)
- **Renders a UI card:** no
- **Returns:** Confirmation your status was set or cleared.

## Parameters

- `status` (string, required) — My new status update, in plain words (≤150 chars) — e.g. "heads-down shipping all week" or "just landed in Tokyo 🗼". Pass an empty string to clear my status.
