Example: We want to add an offline unconfirmed gift via API to later confirm the gift (or vice versa). In order to modify the status of a gift it has to be done manually now. In order to modify the gift via API it has to be added, deleted and added again with the different status.

The ability to confirm a gift via API would allow us to automate processes to have gifts set to unconfirmed and confirmed once transactions go through (e.g., checks clear the bank).
