Tool reference

Every tool the Signal connector serves, by area, with its inputs, annotations and what it needs.

The Signal connector serves 51 tools: 47 that read and 4 that make changes. An assistant is shown only the tools its connection can use: the areas the person ticked when they approved it, and, for the four change tools, View and make changes. The changes themselves are listed in Change actions; prompts, in-chat widgets and resources are in Prompts, resources and widgets.

Reading this reference#

• Read tools change nothing. The write tools are the four every change goes through, and a View only connection isn't shown them at all.
• Areas: when a person connects an assistant, they tick the areas it may use (Sales, Marketing, Analytics, Data import). The tools under Every connection are every connection's; any other tool is shown only to a connection with its area.
• Needs: what else Signal checks on every call, in Signal's words: the person's role permission (Settings › Roles), the workspace's plan and the modules turned on. A call that doesn't meet them is refused, with the reason.
• Annotations: the hints tools/list sends with each tool (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint). Hosts read them to decide when to ask the person first.
• Change actions are made through preview_change and apply_change: each is previewed as a card first, and the assistant app asks the person before applying it, unless they've set it to always allow Signal's changes. Each is recorded in Settings › AI activity and, where its undo rule allows, undone with undo_change within 7 days.
• Widget: the interactive view a host that supports MCP Apps draws for a tool's answer. Its buttons go through the same preview_change and apply_change as any other change.

Every connection#

Who the person is in Signal, their workspaces, Signal's help, their connected apps, and fetch, which opens one record or one change by its id. Every connection has these, whichever areas were ticked.

Who am I in Signal#

whoami · read · Every connection · Reads only · Shown to View only connections

Who this connection acts as and where: the person's name and email; this call's workspace (id, name, role, plan); the connection (app, access, areas, default workspace); and what the workspace lets AI assistants do.

Annotations: readOnlyHint true, destructiveHint false, openWorldHint false

List my Signal workspaces#

list_workspaces · read · Every connection · Reads only · Shown to View only connections

The workspaces the person belongs to: id, name, role, whether it is this connection's default, what it lets AI assistants do, and whether this connection can use it, with the reason when not (workspace_locked, connector_not_included, workspace_assistants_off, client_not_allowed, unavailable).

Annotations: readOnlyHint true, destructiveHint false, openWorldHint false

No inputs.

Search Signal's help#

search_help · read · Every connection · Reads only · Shown to View only connections
