MCP tools · 17 exposed · ~2,387 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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

search_projects ~260

Open projects buyers posted, newest first, with budget, category, proposals and the brief's start. Returns open projects from the same search as the Jobs page on PeoplePerHour, newest first. Filter by keyword, top category, or posting time: with since, only projects posted after it come back, so an agent polling for new work reads only what arrived since its last check. Times are UTC. budget.type is fixed_price or hourly (then the amount is per hour), in the buyer's currency. freelancer_country is set when only freelancers from that country may send a proposal. get_project returns the full brief. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page; it is null when nothing more matches. With since, one call scans at most 200 of the newest projects, so a page can hold fewer than limit and still have a next_cursor.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Only projects in this top category.
cursorstring–next_cursor from the previous call.
limitinteger–1 to 50. Default: 20.
