Schema Quality & AI Usability54
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1818 tokens (~165/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

MCP tools — 11 exposed · ~1,818 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
add_suppression ~57

Add an email or domain to the suppression list (scope is 'email' or 'domain') so future campaigns exclude it.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

fetch_results ~233

Fetch a page of leads produced by a campaign (paginate with offset/limit). kept_only=True returns only rows the user marked kept in review (for export). match_status narrows to one population: 'validated' (verified email, billed) or 'needs_review' (surfaced free; rejection_reason says why) — omit it for both. Returns {summary, total, offset, limit, rows}; total counts the filtered population. Rows carry verification receipts (verified_by/verified_at/ verifier_verdict) when a live verification exists — treat them as the authoritative proof; null means no receipt, not a failure. Two more quotable proof lines appear where earned: person_receipt (who the person is and where we saw them launch, on person-target leads) and tech_receipt (dated evidence of the detected platform) — forward them as-is.

get_campaign_status ~115

Check the status of a previously submitted campaign (queued/running/done/ done_partial/failed) by job_id. Prefer wait_seconds=45 over sleeping between polls: the call holds until the status or pipeline stage changes (or the timer expires) and returns the normal snapshot either way — loop on it until `status` is terminal. Out-of-range wait_seconds clamps to [0, 45], never errors.

NameTypeReqDescription
job_idstringyes
wait_secondsinteger

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_credits ~122

Check this tenant's prepaid credit balance (a validated lead costs 1 credit — 2 for person-target or Meta-ads campaigns), the available credit packs, and the ledger (paginate ledger entries with offset/limit, newest first). Campaigns cannot start with a zero balance — buy a pack via the dashboard when balance runs low. When you authenticate with an API key this also returns YOUR key's remaining budgets — check it before large campaigns.

NameTypeReqDescription

offsetinteger

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

get_icp_pack ~26

List the ICP packs (saved vertical/geo templates) available to this tenant.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_usage ~119

Today's external vendor usage against the tenant's daily quota (vendor_calls_today / per_day_max / remaining). This is the OTHER ceiling besides credits: when remaining hits 0, campaign work pauses until midnight even with a healthy credit balance — check it before launching a large or urgent campaign. `remaining` is quota UNITS, which usually equals calls; a creator discovery costs one unit per delivered record, so it can consume far more than one call's worth. Mirrors REST GET /v1/usage.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

list_campaigns ~198

List this tenant's campaigns, newest first — the recovery path when a job_id was lost: every row carries job_id, status, the query it ran, and credits spent, so you can resume polling (get_campaign_status) or fetch results without resubmitting (and double-charging). Filters: q (substring over vertical/geo), status (queued | running | done | done_partial | failed), created_after/ created_before (ISO-8601 window over creation time), order ('desc' default, 'asc' oldest first). Paginate with offset/limit (limit 1-200); `total` counts everything matching the filters, not just this page.

review_lead ~72

Mark a lead kept or discarded after review (status: kept | discarded | unreviewed). Then fetch_results(kept_only=true) returns only kept leads — the export set.

NameTypeReqDescription

result_idintegeryes
statusstringyes

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

send_feedback ~135

Send feedback to the Nose for Leads team. Set kind='product' for feedback about the leads, the service, coverage, or pricing — relay what the business owner tells you (categories: lead_quality, pricing, missing_feature, praise, other). Set kind='tool' (default) for feedback about these MCP tools themselves — a confusing description, a bug, a missing capability. Use freely; it's our main signal for improving the product and the agent experience.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

start_campaign ~442

Submit a lead-generation campaign. Pass translate_icp's `vertical`, `geo`, and `query` fields directly (category/location are ALIASES for vertical/geo, accepted so translate output round-trips; prefer vertical/geo when constructing calls). `query`'s full shape and field vocabulary are in this tool's schema — build it with translate_icp from free text (recommended), or construct it directly. An unknown predicate field (or rank), and any unknown `discovery` key, is rejected with a 422 naming it; an unknown top-level `query` key is silently ignored, so keep to predicates/rank/discovery — a typo there will not error, it will just do nothing. Costs 1 credit per validated lead — 2 credits per validated lead if the query carries a `discovery` block with target_type 'person' (named founders of recently launched companies), or if it filters on Meta ads. A campaign cannot overspend: if discovered leads exceed your balance it delivers what your credits cover and the campaign ends `done_partial`; check get_credits first if your balance is low. vertical/geo are REQUIRED except for a locationless campaign — `query` carrying a discovery block with mode 'launch_feeds' or 'web_search' — which has no geography at all. If the tenant has no card on file this returns a 403 `card_required` error with a `setup_url` — surface that URL to the user so they can verify a card (never charged unless they buy a pack). Pass a stable idempotency_key when you might retry — a retry returns the ORIGINAL campaign (idempotent_replay=true), never a duplicate charge. Returns {job_id, idempotent_replay}; poll get_campaign_status with job_id.

translate_icp ~299

Translate free-text ICP description (e.g. "plumbers in phoenix with no website") into a structured query. Call this BEFORE start_campaign — start_campaign only accepts a structured `query` dict, never free text. Returns {query, vertical, geo, category, location, preview, unsupported, discovery} — pass vertical/geo/query straight to start_campaign. `discovery` is non-empty when the ask routes OUTSIDE Google Maps, in one of two shapes. Mode 'launch_feeds': people/companies that RECENTLY LAUNCHED (e.g. "founders of B2B SaaS that launched in the last 3 months") — it names the launch feeds to search and whether the leads are people or companies. Mode 'web_search': long-tail ONLINE businesses Google Maps never had (e.g. "marketing agencies for dentists"), found via paid organic search — companies only, never people. Either way the block is already embedded inside the returned `query`, so passing `query` through unchanged is all that's needed; neither mode has a geography, so vertical/geo come back empty and start_campaign does not require them. Anything we cannot actually source lands in `unsupported` instead — read that list aloud to the user rather than pretending the campaign will cover it.
