Update Folder (lawmatics_update-folder)
Update an existing folder in Lawmatics by ID: rename it, move it under a different parent folder, or re-attach it to a different matter or contact. Returns a `relationships` envelope of {id,type} pointers to the owning record (matter or contact), the parent folder, and the child folders and files it contains. Folder names must be unique within their parent folder — a duplicate name is rejected by the API.
Tool Input

matterIdstring— ID of the matter to re-attach this folder to
contactIdstring— ID of the contact to re-attach this folder to
