# All tools

> The 46 tools an agent has, what each does, its arguments and the level it needs.

This page is made from the code, so it matches the server you connect to.

A tool is one action. For a whole job, an agent follows a [skill](/agents/skills/build-a-flow/).

Each tool calls the same code as its endpoint in the [API](/api/overview/). The level is the least a connection needs: see [Levels and leads](/agents/levels-and-leads/).

## Each tool

### get_started

Call this first. Returns the rules for working in Signalbox, the workspace you are connected to, the person you act as and your level (read, build or publish), what is set up (HubSpot, forms, queues, meeting types, reps with a calendar, sites, flows), what is missing with the next step for each gap, and the skills there are.

No arguments.

### list_skills

The skills: recipes for whole jobs (build a flow, set up a workspace, explain a lead, review a flow). When the person asks for one of these jobs, read its skill with get_skill and follow it.

No arguments.

### get_skill

One skill in full, as Markdown: the steps to follow for a whole job, in order, with the tools to call at each step.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | text | yes | The skill's name, from list_skills. |

### list_node_types

Every kind of step a flow can hold: its type (the value a node's 'type' takes), name, group, what the step is for, and its exits. Call get_node_type for one type's settings. Types with built: false cannot run yet.

No arguments.

### get_node_type

One node type in full: what it is for, its exits, the fields it adds for later steps, an example node, and each setting with its key, the JSON shape it takes, its options and its default. For an If / else or a Branch it says how conditions are written and lists the operators.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `type` | text | yes | The type, from list_node_types. |

### list_fields

The fields a condition may test and a setting may fill in with {{braces}}: the form's own fields (form.<name>), what Clean and enrich adds (clean.*, sopro.*), what the HubSpot lookup adds (hs.*), and the fields each step adds for the steps after it.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | no | Optional. A flow's id: the form fields are then those of the forms that flow runs for. |

### list_templates

The templates a new flow can start from: the id to pass to create_flow as its template, and the template's name.

No arguments.

### list_flows

The workspace's flows: id, name, status (DRAFT, LIVE or PAUSED), what starts it, the forms that run it, how many steps, the draft's revision, whether the draft has changes that are not published, how many errors and warnings the draft has, and who saved it last.

No arguments.

### get_flow

One flow's draft: its name, status and revision (needed to save a change), the flow document (nodes with id, type, label, settings and branches; edges as f = from node, e = exit, t = to node; x and y are positions on the canvas; a secret is shown as [hidden]), the outline (the flow in words), and the issues the checker finds, each with the node it is on and how to fix it.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id, from list_flows. |

### create_flow

Makes a new flow as a draft and returns it as get_flow does. With no document it starts from a template: 'blank' gives the three steps every flow begins with (trigger, clean, lookup). Nothing a visitor sees changes. Needs the Build level.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | text | yes | The flow's name. |
| `template` | text | no | Optional. A template from list_templates. Default: blank. |
| `flow` | JSON | no | Optional. A whole flow document, in place of a template. |

### save_flow_draft

Replaces a flow's draft with the document you send, and returns the saved flow as get_flow does: read its issues and its outline. Send the whole document. Leave x and y off nodes and Signalbox lays the flow out. A setting you read as [hidden] keeps its stored value when sent back unchanged. Saving a draft changes nothing a visitor sees. Needs the Build level.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |
| `flow` | JSON | yes | The whole flow document: {"nodes": [...], "edges": [...]}. |
| `fromRevision` | number | yes | The revision you read with get_flow or got from the last save. The save is refused when someone has saved since. |
| `name` | text | no | Optional. A new name for the flow. |

### check_flow

Checks a flow document without saving it: returns the issues, each with how to fix it, and the outline. Use it to try a change before you save.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flow` | JSON | yes | The flow document to check. |
| `flowId` | text | no | Optional. The id of the flow it will be saved to, so form fields are checked against that flow's forms. |

### dry_run_flow

Runs a flow's saved draft against one sample lead and writes nothing: no lead, no HubSpot change, no email, no booking. Returns each step the lead passed, the exit it took and why, the path in one line, and what the visitor would see. With a real company email the company lookup and the HubSpot read are real. The run stops at the first step that waits for the visitor. Needs the Build level.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |
| `values` | JSON | no | The sample lead's form fields as an object, for example {"email": "jo@example.com", "firstname": "Jo", "country": "United Kingdom"}. |

### publish_flow

Makes a flow's draft the version new leads run. Refused while the draft has an error. This changes what live visitors get: ask the person first and wait for a yes. Needs the Publish level.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |

### pause_flow

Pauses a live flow, or resumes a paused one. A paused flow takes no new leads: visitors get the page's normal behaviour. Leads already inside carry on. Ask the person first. Needs the Publish level.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |
| `paused` | true or false | yes | true to pause, false to resume. |

### delete_flow

Deletes a flow. Refused while a form still runs it. Ask the person first. Needs the Publish level.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |

### list_flow_versions

A flow's published versions, newest first: number, who published it, when, and which one is live.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |

### get_flow_version

One published version of a flow: its document and its outline. Use it to see what a lead ran, or what changed between versions.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |
| `number` | number | yes | The version's number, from list_flow_versions. |

### restore_flow_version

Copies a published version back into the draft. It does not publish, so nothing a visitor sees changes. Needs the Build level.

| Argument | Type | Needed | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flowId` | text | yes | The flow's id. |
| `number` | number | yes | The version's number. |
| `fromRevision` | number | yes | The draft's revision now, from get_flow. |

| `flowId` | text | no | The flow's id. Leave out to take the flow off the form. |

|---|---|---|---|
| `formId` | text | yes | The form's id, from list_forms. |
| `on` | true or false | yes | true for on, false for off. |
