+## Mutation Operations
+
+The GraphQL interface supports full CRUD operations for markdown files and schemas through mutations. All mutations return structured payloads with success indicators and error handling.
+
+### Mutation Types
+
+#### Markdown File Mutations
+
+##### Add Markdown File
+Create a new markdown file in the database:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  addMarkdownFile(
+    filename: "new-document.md"
+    content: "# New Document\n\nThis is a new markdown file."
+  ) {
+    success
+    markdownFile {
+      id
+      filename
+      content
+      wordCount
+      hasFrontMatter
+      createdAt
+    }
+    errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+##### Add Markdown File with Front Matter
+Create a file with YAML front matter:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  addMarkdownFile(
+    filename: "blog-post.md"
+    content: """---
+title: "My Blog Post"
+date: "2024-01-15"
+tags: ["tech", "api"]
+---
+
+# My Blog Post
+
+Content goes here.
+"""
+  ) {
+    success
+    markdownFile {
+      id
+      filename
+      frontMatter {
+        key
+        value
+      }
+      hasFrontMatter
+    }
+    errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+##### Update Markdown File
+Update an existing markdown file:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  updateMarkdownFile(
+    id: 1
+    content: "# Updated Document\n\nThis content has been updated."
+  ) {
+    success
+    markdownFile {
+      id
+      filename
+      content
+      wordCount
+      lineCount
+    }
+    errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Schema Mutations
+
+##### Add JSON Schema
+Create a new JSON schema:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  addSchema(
+    filename: "user-schema.json"
+    schemaContent: {
+      "type": "object",
+      "title": "User Schema",
+      "description": "Schema for user objects",
+      "properties": {
+        "name": {"type": "string"},
+        "email": {"type": "string", "format": "email"},
+        "age": {"type": "integer", "minimum": 0}
+      },
+      "required": ["name", "email"]
+    }
+  ) {
+    success
+    schema {
+      id
+      filename
+      title
+      description
+      propertyCount
+      schemaVersion
+    }
+    errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+##### Update JSON Schema
+Update an existing schema:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  updateSchema(
+    id: 1
+    schemaContent: {
+      "type": "object",
+      "title": "Updated User Schema",
+      "description": "Updated schema for user objects",
+      "properties": {
+        "name": {"type": "string"},
+        "email": {"type": "string", "format": "email"},
+        "age": {"type": "integer", "minimum": 0},
+        "country": {"type": "string"}
+      },
+      "required": ["name", "email"]
+    }
+  ) {
+    success
+    schema {
+      id
+      filename
+      title
+      propertyCount
+      updatedAt
+    }
+    errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+##### Delete Schema
+Remove a schema from the database:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  deleteSchema(filename: "old-schema.json") {
+    success
+    deletedFilename
+    errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Mutation Payload Types
+
+All mutations return structured payload types with the following pattern:
+
+#### AddMarkdownFilePayload
+```graphql
+type AddMarkdownFilePayload {
+  success: Boolean!
+  markdownFile: MarkdownFile
+  errors: [String!]!
+}
+```
+
+#### UpdateMarkdownFilePayload
+```graphql
+type UpdateMarkdownFilePayload {
+  success: Boolean!
+  markdownFile: MarkdownFile
+  errors: [String!]!
+}
+```
+
+#### AddSchemaPayload
+```graphql
+type AddSchemaPayload {
+  success: Boolean!
+  schema: Schema
+  errors: [String!]!
+}
+```
+
+#### UpdateSchemaPayload
+```graphql
+type UpdateSchemaPayload {
+  success: Boolean!
+  schema: Schema
+  errors: [String!]!
+}
+```
+
+#### DeleteSchemaPayload
+```graphql
+type DeleteSchemaPayload {
+  success: Boolean!
+  deletedFilename: String
+  errors: [String!]!
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling in Mutations
+
+Mutations provide comprehensive error handling:
+
+#### Validation Errors
+Invalid input data returns structured errors:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  addMarkdownFile(filename: "", content: "test") {
+    success  # false
+    markdownFile  # null
+    errors  # ["Filename cannot be empty"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Duplicate Filename Handling
+Attempting to create files with existing names:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  addMarkdownFile(filename: "existing.md", content: "test") {
+    success  # false
+    errors  # ["File with filename 'existing.md' already exists"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Not Found Errors
+Updating non-existent resources:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+  updateMarkdownFile(id: 999, content: "test") {
+    success  # false
+    errors  # ["Markdown file with ID 999 not found"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Complete CRUD Workflow Example
+
+Here's a complete example showing the full lifecycle of a markdown file:
+
+```graphql
+# 1. Create a new file
+mutation CreateFile {
+  addMarkdownFile(
+    filename: "api-guide.md"
+    content: """---
+title: "API Usage Guide"
+version: "1.0"
+---
+
+# API Usage Guide
+
+Basic API documentation.
+"""
+  ) {
+    success
+    markdownFile {
+      id
+      filename
+      hasFrontMatter
+    }
+    errors
+  }
+}
+
+# 2. Query the created file
+{
+  markdownFile(filename: "api-guide.md") {
+    id
+    content
+    wordCount
+    frontMatter {
+      key
+      value
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+# 3. Update the file content
+mutation UpdateFile {
+  updateMarkdownFile(
+    id: 1
+    content: """---
+title: "API Usage Guide"
+version: "2.0"
+updated: "2024-01-15"
+---
+
+# API Usage Guide
+
+Comprehensive API documentation with examples.

+## Authentication

+  ) {
+    success
+    markdownFile {
+      id
+      wordCount
+      lineCount
+      frontMatter {
+        key
+        value
+      }
+    }
+    errors
+  }
+}
+
+# 4. Verify the update
+{
+  markdownFile(id: 1) {
+    filename
+    wordCount
+    frontMatter {
+      key
+      value
+    }

 ## Security Considerations
 
-### Read-Only Interface
-The GraphQL interface is read-only and does not support mutations, providing safe access to MarkiTect data.
+### Write Operations Security
+The GraphQL interface supports both read and write operations through mutations. Write operations require careful consideration:
+
+- **Data Validation**: All mutations include comprehensive input validation and structured error responses
+- **Transaction Safety**: Database operations are wrapped in transactions to ensure data consistency
+- **File Overwrites**: Duplicate filenames in the same mutation will overwrite existing files
+- **Schema Validation**: JSON schemas are validated before storage to ensure they are well-formed
+- **Error Handling**: Failed operations return detailed error messages without exposing internal system details
