    people_searchSearch a global professional database in plain English (for example 'Heads of Marketing at Series B SaaS in New York') and get a sample of matching people plus the true total match count. Results are masked previews (a masked name, role, industry, company size and location) and each one carries an opaque `token`. Searching is FREE and spends no credits: use it to validate that the right people exist before you pay. To get a person's real name, LinkedIn and verified email, pass their token to reveal_profile, or use find_people to unlock a batch in one call.
    reveal_profileUnlock ONE person from a people_search result. Pass the `token` from that result. Spends 1 credit and returns the full profile: real name, current title and company, location and LinkedIn URL. Set `include_email` to true to also look up their verified professional (work) email in the same call, which spends 1 more credit that is refunded if no email is found. Revealing the same person again is free (idempotent). The email is looked up live and may take a moment: if it returns emailStatus 'searching', call reveal_profile again with the same token (no extra charge) to collect it.
    find_peopleThe list-building tool. Re-runs a plain-English people search and unlocks up to `count` full profiles in ONE atomic charge: 1 credit per newly unlocked person, and anyone you already own is free. Returns each person's real name, title, company, location, LinkedIn URL and an `id`. Emails are NOT fetched here (that is a separate credit): after unlocking, call fetch_email with each person's `id` to get their verified work email. WARNING for autonomous use: this can spend up to `count` credits in a single call, so choose `count` deliberately and confirm with the user before large batches. Returns an out-of-credits error instead of overspending.
    fetch_emailLook up the verified professional (work) email for a person you have already unlocked with find_people (or reveal_profile). Pass their `id`. Spends 1 credit, refunded automatically if no email is found. The lookup is live: if it returns emailStatus 'searching', call fetch_email again with the same id (no extra charge) to collect the result once it resolves. Returns a professional address, never a personal one; not every person has a findable work email.
    verify_emailCheck whether an email address exists and is safe to send to, before it bounces. Returns a deliverability verdict (deliverable, undeliverable, or unknown) without sending anything. Spends 1 credit, refunded if no verdict can be reached.
    find_company_emailsGiven a company domain or name, return the contactable role-based email addresses discovered for that organization (such as contact@, sales@, support@), each with a confidence level. Use this for reaching a company inbox, not a specific named person (for a named person use find_people or find_linkedin_profile). Spends 2 credits, refunded if none are found.
    reverse_email_lookupTurn a professional email address into the real person behind it and their LinkedIn profile. Best for work emails; free-mailbox addresses often have no public profile to match. Spends 13 credits (this is the single most expensive lookup), refunded automatically if no match is found.
    find_linkedin_profileFind the LinkedIn profile URL for a named person. Provide their first and last name; adding the company or domain sharply improves the match. Spends 2 credits, refunded if no confident match is found.
    lookup_linkedin_profileTurn a LinkedIn profile URL into clean structured data: name, current role and company, and location. Spends 2 credits, refunded if the profile cannot be retrieved.
    lookup_companyTurn a LinkedIn company URL into firmographic data: industry, size, location and website. Spends 1 credit, refunded if the company cannot be retrieved.
    company_searchSearch a global company database in plain English (for example 'Series B fintech companies in London with 50-200 employees') and get matching companies with industry, size, location and website. Searching companies is FREE and spends no credits.
    check_creditsReturn the current credit balance for the API key making the request. Free and read-only. Use it before a large find_people call to confirm there are enough credits.
