Thanks tylersmalley for your response.  
I've tried that but it doesn't seem to be working.

Example:  
- The following query:  
curl -XPUT -H "kbn-xsrf:true" "[http://localhost:5601/api/saved\_objects/index-pattern/e38f6e90-cf2f-11e7-a5ef-9f5ab64be49e](http://localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/index-pattern/e38f6e90-cf2f-11e7-a5ef-9f5ab64be49e)" -d '{"version": 1, "attributes": {"title": "test-\*"}}'  
- it returns:  
{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"child "attributes" fails because ["attributes" is required]. "{"version": 1, "attributes": {"title": "test-\*"}" is not allowed","validation":{"source":"payload","keys":["attributes","{"version": 1, "attributes": {"title": "test-\*"}"]}}
