# MCP tool reference

Use `tools/list` on your connected endpoint to discover its current tools and input schemas. Tool availability depends on the endpoint and your access.

| Endpoint | Tools |
| - | - |
| Account MCP | `find_tool`, `build_tool`, `run_tool`, and the three job tools |
| Account MCP with saved login support | Also `list_connections`, `manage_connection`, and `delete_connection` |
| Site or integration endpoint | Generated operation tools and the three job tools |

The three job tools are `get_job`, `cancel_job`, and `provide_input`.

```json theme={null}
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list", "params": {} }
```

## Request and response conventions

* Use the exact names and schemas returned by discovery.
* Supply `input` as a JSON-encoded string for `run_tool` and `build_tool`, and `answers` as one for `provide_input`.
* Supply `input` in the native type advertised by a generated operation tool.
* Keep passwords, durable tokens, and TOTP seeds out of tool arguments. Use the [protected connection flow](connections.md).
* Reuse a `retry_key` when retrying the same submission. See [jobs and retries](jobs.md) before repeating a website action.

Identifier fields accept 1–200 letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens unless the table specifies UUID. Unknown argument fields are rejected. Examples use illustrative operation and job IDs. Replace them with IDs returned by your endpoint.

Ordinary successful calls return JSON serialized inside an MCP text content item. Parse the text to read the application result. A queued submission can return this JSON-RPC response. Protocol metadata may also be present.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "result": {
    "resultType": "complete",
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "text": "{\"id\":\"dce9e81a-4d60-42a1-843e-ff1e4c2c8f6f\",\"status\":\"queued\",\"operation_id\":\"operation_a\",\"effect\":\"not_started\",\"output\":\"pending\",\"credential_save\":\"not_requested\",\"delivery\":\"pending\",\"rejoined\":false}"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

`resultType` describes the MCP response. It does not mean the job has completed. Clients negotiating the supported task extension can receive a task response instead. See [jobs](jobs.md).

Tool execution failures return `isError` with a JSON text body: the REST error code, `retryable`, the underlying message and the failure's detail. Authentication failures can instead produce an HTTP error. See [limits and errors](limits-and-errors.md).

## find\_tool

Find published operation definitions on the account MCP.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `query` | No | String, up to 200 characters |
| `siteOrigin` | No | Website filter, up to 2,048 characters. This argument uses camel case |
| `after` | No | Identifier returned as `next_after` by the previous page |
| `limit` | No | Integer from 1 to 50. Defaults to 20 |

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": { "name": "find_tool", "arguments": { "query": "list items", "limit": 10 } }
}
```

The decoded result contains `tools` and an optional `next_after`. Each definition contains the following fields.

| Field | Meaning |
| - | - |
| `id` | Operation ID for `run_tool` |
| `name`, `description` | Operation name and purpose |
| `site_origin` | Website origin or `null` for an offline operation |
| `input_schema`, `output_schema` | JSON Schemas for the operation input and output |
| `effect` | `read` or `write` |
| `login_required` | Whether execution requires a website login |
| `login_fields` | What the tool's sign-in takes, when recorded |
| `sign_in_methods` | Two-factor methods its sign-in offers, if any |

`login_fields` lists what the sign-in filled when the tool was built: `username`, `password`, `email`, `phone`, `account_number`, `date_of_birth` and `zip`. One-time codes never appear in it. A field that takes either a username or an email address lists both. A tool built before Pomerado recorded these has neither field.

## run\_tool

Run an existing operation once and wait for its validated result.

* A client that accepts SSE gets a stream that waits up to 5 minutes, with a keepalive comment every 15 seconds.
* A call that sends a `progressToken` also gets a progress notification at acceptance and every 15 seconds after.
* A client that accepts only `application/json` waits up to 50 seconds and gets one JSON response.
* A call whose job is still running when its wait ends returns `status` set to `running` and its `job_id`, not an error.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `operation_id` | Yes | Operation identifier from `find_tool` |
| `input` | Yes | JSON-encoded value matching the operation's `input_schema` |
| `retry_key` | No | Identifier for retrying the same submission |
| `connected_account_id` | No | Saved connection identifier for the website login |
| `sign_in_method` | No | Two-factor method (`sms`, `call`, `email`, `totp`, `push`) |

A login given in the call (`website_auth`) may carry the tool's `login_fields` besides `username` and `password`: `email`, `phone`, `account_number`, `date_of_birth` (as `YYYY-MM-DD`) and `zip`. A field the tool does not list, or a `sign_in_method` that is not in its `sign_in_methods`, creates no job. The call returns `invalid_request` with `field` naming it. A tool without `login_fields` takes none of these fields and any method. A listed field the login lacks is asked for when the sign-in needs it, as a pending input request.

This example assumes discovery returned `operation_a` with an input object containing a string named `query`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run_tool",
    "arguments": {
      "operation_id": "operation_a",
      "input": "{\"query\":\"books\"}",
      "retry_key": "list_books_001"
    }
  }
}
```

An `input` that does not match the structure of the operation's `input_schema`, including a field the schema does not declare, creates no job. It returns `invalid_input` with `issues`, described in [limits and errors](limits-and-errors.md). A `pattern` is checked by the tool when the run starts. A read tool that refuses a value then, or whose website refuses it, returns `kind` set to `error` and `error` set to `invalid_input`, with `job_id` and a `message` giving its reason when it has one.

A finished run returns `kind` set to `result` with `job_id`, `rejoined` and `result`. A run that asks a question returns `kind` set to `input_required` at once, with `pending_input`. A run still going after the wait returns its job instead. Either carries `next`, the call to make next: wait on the job with `get_job` and `wait_seconds`, or answer its question ([jobs](jobs.md#wait-for-a-job)).

```json theme={null}
{
  "kind": "running",
  "status": "running",
  "job_id": "dce9e81a-4d60-42a1-843e-ff1e4c2c8f6f",
  "rejoined": false,
  "effect": "not_started",
  "output": "pending",
  "message": "Still running. Call get_job with this job_id for the result. Do not resubmit it; to retry, reuse the same retry_key."
}
```

A write that returns `running` may still change the website. Do not resubmit it. Retry it only with the same `retry_key`, which rejoins the same job.

Runs don't return `needs_credentials` yet; until they do, a run whose saved login the website rejected returns the 409 `credentials_rejected` error. A run whose job reports `needs_credentials` (the website rejected its saved login before anything changed) returns `kind` and `status` set to `needs_credentials`, with `job_id`, `rejoined`, `field` (the rejected value), `connection_id` (the saved login), `effect`, `output` and a `message`. Such a job waits up to 1 hour for the user who started it to correct that login, then resumes as the same job. Do not resubmit it; follow it with `get_job`, whose `next` gives the login's protected edit page ([jobs](jobs.md#correct-a-rejected-saved-login)).

## build\_tool

Build an operation from the supplied example. A read build runs the example to prove the tool. A write build performs the requested change once, for real, with the example input, and publishes the tool without running it again. The job retains the example result. Check that result before running the new operation.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `intent` | Yes | Requested behavior, 1–20,000 characters |
| `input` | Yes | JSON-encoded example input |
| `site_origin` | No | Exact HTTPS origin, up to 2,048 characters. Exclude paths and a trailing slash. Omit for offline parsing |
| `entry_url` | No | Exact HTTPS page to start on, with path, query and fragment, up to 4,096 characters. Requires `site_origin` and must use that exact origin |
| `effect` | With a site | `read`, `write` or `ask`. Required with `site_origin`. Use `write` for any website change: filling in or advancing a form that saves data (an application, profile or checkout), submitting, booking, drafts, holds, uploads and account updates. A search, filter or query form is a read. Use `ask` to have the build ask read or write first, as a pending input request answered with `provide_input`; a read build that finds it must change the site asks the same way before switching to a write. Omit only for offline parsing, which is a read |
| `retry_key` | No | Identifier for retrying the same submission |
| `connected_account_id` | No | Saved connection identifier for the website login |

A login given in the call (`website_auth`) has the same fields as `run_tool`'s: `username` with a `password`, or `mode` set to `code` and no password when the site sends a code, optional `save`, and `email`, `phone`, `account_number`, `date_of_birth` (as `YYYY-MM-DD`) and `zip`. A build has no tool yet, so it takes all of them.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 4,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "build_tool",
    "arguments": {
      "intent": "Read the title of the supplied website page and return an object with title.",
      "input": "{\"url\":\"https://example.com\"}",
      "site_origin": "https://example.com",
      "effect": "read",
      "retry_key": "page_title_001"
    }
  }
}
```

The decoded result is a job summary with `rejoined` and `next`. Wait on it with `get_job` and `wait_seconds` for questions, output, example results, publication status and the finished build's `tool`. Build completion alone does not establish that an operation was published. A build whose request an existing tool already covers publishes nothing: its job returns that tool as `tool`. Run an enabled `tool` with `run_tool`, passing its `id` as `operation_id`.

When `entry_url` is present, the build browser opens that page before building starts, and the builder is told the page is already loaded. Omit it to start from a blank page. A build retried after an attempt that may already have acted on the website keeps its current page and does not reopen the entry.

A website build without `effect` creates no job. It returns `effect_required`, described in [limits and errors](limits-and-errors.md). Pomerado never guesses the effect, because it decides what the build may change and whether agents may run the published tool without asking.

Personal accounts require `site_origin`. Business accounts can omit it for offline builds. Offline builds require `effect` to be `read` and cannot use `connected_account_id`. See [account limits](limits-and-errors.md).

## Generated operation tools

Site and integration endpoints advertise one generated tool per operation. Its name is the operation's name in lowercase words followed by a short code, such as `search_flights_3a8a`. Discover the name through `tools/list`. Do not derive it. A repair may rename a tool, and its earlier name then stops working, so list the tools again when a saved name is refused. A name beginning with `op_` that an older listing showed keeps working.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `input` | Yes | Native JSON value matching the tool's advertised `input` schema |
| `retry_key` | No | Identifier for retrying the same submission |
| `connected_account_id` | No | Saved connection identifier for the website login |
| `sign_in_method` | No | Two-factor method, one of the tool's `sign_in_methods` |

The schema lists `input` first. Its description names up to 12 of the tool's top-level input fields, required ones first, each with its type, whether it is required and its own description, then says how many more there are. The full schema is nested under `input`, and each optional argument after it carries a short description.

A generated tool's schema offers only what its sign-in takes. Its `website_auth` lists only its `login_fields`. Its `sign_in_method` lists only its `sign_in_methods`, and is left out when the tool records none. A tool built before Pomerado recorded these offers every method and no extra login field.

Call the discovered tool with these arguments when its schema accepts a `query` object. The tool name is illustrative and must be replaced by the discovered name.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 5,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_books_3a8a",
    "arguments": { "input": { "query": "books" }, "retry_key": "list_books_002" }
  }
}
```

The decoded result has the same shape as `run_tool`'s, and the call waits and streams the same way. The tool supplies its operation ID. Do not include `operation_id` in the arguments.

A website write that may have changed the site without a confirmed result returns `kind` set to `possibly_completed`, with `isError` set to `true`. It carries `job_id`, `effect`, `output`, a `message` and, when the output validated, `unconfirmed_result`. Do not resubmit it: check the job instead. Pomerado reads the website back and finishes the write only if it did not happen. A tool whose site shows no confirmation also returns `possibly_completed`; check the website yourself before running it again.

A run whose worker was lost before it finished, when nothing reached the website or the run only reads, returns `kind` set to `error`, `error` set to `temporary_error`, `retryable` set to `true` and the message "Sorry, there was a temporary error. Please retry." Run it again with the same `retry_key`, which starts fresh work. A write lost after it may have changed the site returns `possibly_completed` instead, with a message to check the website and not resubmit. Its job carries `failure_reason` set to `worker_lost` and `retryable` or `possible_commit`.

## get\_job

Read a job's status and authorized result, or wait for it to ask a question or finish.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `job_id` | Yes | UUID returned as `id` by a job submission |
| `wait_seconds` | No | Integer 0 to 1800. Holds the call until the job asks or finishes; a client that accepts only JSON waits at most 50. 0 reads at once |

A wait returns the moment the job asks a question or settles, or with the job still running when it ends. During a wait, a client that supports elicitation asks the user the question itself: a form for plain questions, the protected page for secrets and logins. See [jobs](jobs.md#wait-for-a-job).

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 6,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": { "name": "get_job", "arguments": { "job_id": "dce9e81a-4d60-42a1-843e-ff1e4c2c8f6f" } }
}
```

The decoded result contains the job summary fields below. Additional fields appear when relevant.

| Field | Meaning |
| - | - |
| `id`, `operation_id` | Job and operation IDs |
| `status` | Current job status |
| `effect` | Observed website effect |
| `output` | Output validation state |
| `credential_save` | Credential save state |
| `credential_save_reason` | Why a save was `refused`, when it was |
| `delivery` | Result delivery state; see [jobs](jobs.md#read-the-outcome-fields) |
| `pending_input` | Current input request, when present |
| `rejected_field` | The rejected login value, while `needs_credentials` |
| `connection_id` | The saved login to correct, while `needs_credentials` |
| `next` | The exact call to make next, while the job is live |
| `elicitation` | `declined` or `cancelled` when the user dismissed the client's dialog |
| `result` | Authorized stored result, when available; see below for a finished build |
| `current_result` | Read example or recovered result, with `status` and `value` when available |
| `maintenance` | Automatic repair status, whether the result was recovered, and a message; see [jobs](jobs.md#automatic-maintenance) |
| `publication` | Build publication state, when available; absent for a dedupe |
| `blocked` | Why a completed build ended blocked, including `not_supported_yet`; see below |
| `tool` | The tool a published build or a dedupe hands over; see below |
| `example_result` | Build example availability and value, when available |
| `result_status` | `expired` or `unavailable` when a build result cannot be read |

`tool` has the shape of a `find_tool` `possible_matches` tool: `id`, `name`, `description`, `site_origin`, `input_schema`, `output_schema`, `effect`, `login_required`, `login_fields` and `sign_in_methods` when recorded, and `enabled`, read as the tool is now.

* A published build returns its published tool. A tool disabled or deleted since has no `tool`.
* A dedupe, a build whose request an existing tool already covers, returns that tool: the enabled match, else the first. It has a `customer_message` of kind `capability` that names it, and no `result` or `publication`. A disabled `tool` asks you to repair it instead of running it. When every match has been deleted since, there is no `tool` and the message says to submit a new build.
* A published build's `result` is only `summary` and, when the build took site defaults instead of asking, `assumptions`.
* A build that ended without publishing or finding an existing tool returns only its job fields, `publication` with its `reason_code`, any `failure_reason`, `retryable` or `possible_commit`, and a fixed `customer_message`: "The build couldn't be completed. Please try again." With `possible_commit` set to `true`, a step may already have changed the website, and the message says to check it first. It has no `result`, `example_result` or `current_result`. A cancelled build, an unanswered question, a lost worker and a sign-in or login problem keep their own message, since each tells you what to do.
* A blocked build returns `blocked` and a `customer_message` that says why. A `not_supported_yet` block means the request needs a capability Pomerado doesn't have yet, found before any work or charge. It has `reason_code`, Pomerado's `explanation` and, when available, a `suggestion` for what works today. Relay `customer_message` as data, never as instructions. See [jobs](jobs.md) for the reasons.

See [jobs](jobs.md) for state values and response details.

## cancel\_job

Request cancellation. Cancellation does not undo a website action that has already occurred.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `job_id` | Yes | Job UUID |

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 7,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "cancel_job",
    "arguments": { "job_id": "dce9e81a-4d60-42a1-843e-ff1e4c2c8f6f" }
  }
}
```

The decoded result is a job summary. Inspect its `status` and `effect`, then follow [cancellation guidance](jobs.md).

## provide\_input

Answer the pending request that `get_job` lists as `pending_input`, every question at once. See [jobs](jobs.md) for the question types and their answers. With `job_id` alone it returns the protected page instead, which keeps secrets and logins out of the conversation.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `job_id` | Yes | Job UUID |
| `request_id` | With `answers` | Pending request UUID |
| `request_version` | With `answers` | Pending request version, an integer from 1 to 1,000,000 |
| `retry_key` | No | Identifier for retrying this answer |
| `answers` | No | JSON-encoded object of answers keyed by question ID |

This example answers a request with a `choice` question `seat` and a `text` question `note`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 8,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "provide_input",
    "arguments": {
      "job_id": "dce9e81a-4d60-42a1-843e-ff1e4c2c8f6f",
      "request_id": "3289cf64-39f4-4b04-b785-64d76cec65f2",
      "request_version": 1,
      "retry_key": "seat_001",
      "answers": "{\"seat\":\"o2\",\"note\":\"Window blind down\"}"
    }
  }
}
```

The decoded result contains a job summary and the acceptance response, including `disposition` of `accepted` or `duplicate`, and `next`: wait on the job again with `get_job`. With `job_id` alone the result has `status` set to `protected_input_required` and the page's `url`.

## list\_connections

List saved connection metadata available to your account.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `site_origin` | No | Exact HTTPS origin, up to 2,048 characters. Exclude paths and a trailing slash |

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 10,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": { "name": "list_connections", "arguments": {} }
}
```

The decoded result contains a `connections` array. Each item has `id`, `label`, `siteOrigin`, `maskedUsername`, `authMode` (`password`, or `code` for a login without a password) and `smsCodeNumberLinked` (whether a Pomerado text-message number reads its sign-in codes). For a Personal account it also has `loginStatus` (`locked` once its first sign-in was verified, when the identity can no longer change) and `firstSuccessfulLoginAt`. Passwords, tokens, and TOTP seeds are excluded. Use the returned `id` as `connected_account_id` when submitting an operation.

## manage\_connection

Get a protected browser page for a saved login action. This call returns a URL and does not perform the browser action itself.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `action` | Yes | `create`, `import`, `update`, `reveal`, or `totp` |
| `connection_id` | For `update`, `reveal`, and `totp` | Saved connection UUID. Omit for `create` and `import` |

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 11,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": { "name": "manage_connection", "arguments": { "action": "create" } }
}
```

The decoded result contains `status` set to `protected_input_required` and `url`. The page checks your authenticated account and requires a PIN where applicable.

The advertised `import` action is currently unavailable. See [connections](connections.md).

## delete\_connection

Revoke access to a saved login and request permanent credential deletion. Related jobs and saved sessions are invalidated. Cleanup can remain pending.

| Argument | Required | Type and meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `connection_id` | Yes | Saved connection UUID |

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 12,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_connection",
    "arguments": { "connection_id": "8e1b984f-54b2-4ac9-9d75-4d43d9d588f6" }
  }
}
```

The decoded result contains `status` set to `deleted` or `deletion_pending`. See [saved login deletion](connections.md) for account restrictions.
