Measured tools (48)

• account_context read-only

  Verify the connected account and its readiness before creating or changing lists. Returns account requirements, recovery URLs and what this connection may do. Never ask for a token in chat.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• list_my_lists read-only

  Return the person's own lists (slug, title, status, Inbox flag) and the lists they have access to. Call before add_item when unsure which list to target.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• create_list

  Create a new private list and return the exact slug to reuse in add_item. Repeating the same request dedupes instead of creating another recent list.

  Parameters:

  • title (required) — string — List title, 120 characters or fewer.
  • category — string — Usually omit: Curated picks the category from the title and picks. Set it only when the person names one: Food & Drink, Travel, Books, Music, Movies & TV, Gear & Tools, Software, Fashion, Home & Garden, Ideas & Essays, Art, or Spirituality.
  • subtitle — string — One-line description of what the list is and who it's for.
  • idempotency_key — string — Optional retry key. Reusing it with identical input replays the first result.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world no

• update_list destructive

  Edit a list's title, subtitle, or category. Saves the working version without publishing. Readers keep seeing the last approved version until the owner approves a list update.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: slug, exact title, or id. Must match exactly one list or the call fails.
  • title — string — New title.
  • category — string — The category the person chose: Food & Drink, Travel, Books, Music, Movies & TV, Gear & Tools, Software, Fashion, Home & Garden, Ideas & Essays, Art, or Spirituality. Their choice stays; an empty string clears it.
  • subtitle — string — New subtitle. Pass an empty string to clear.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent yes · open-world no

• archive_list destructive

  Archive one of the person's lists: it leaves their profile, search and readers' view, and its page stops working. Nothing is lost; unarchive_list brings it back. Confirm with the person first.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: slug, exact title, or id. Must match exactly one list or the call fails.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent yes · open-world no

• unarchive_list

  Bring an archived list back. It returns as a private list: going live again is a separate publish the person chooses.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which archived list: slug, exact title, or id.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• delete_list destructive

  Delete one of the person's lists for good. It disappears for them and for readers and cannot be brought back. Refused for Inbox. Only after the person asks to delete that exact list by name; offer archive_list when they may want it back.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: slug, exact title, or id. Must match exactly one list or the call fails.
  • confirmTitle (required) — string — The list's exact title, after the person confirms deleting it. A different title deletes nothing.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent no · open-world no

• add_item

  Capture one pick with the person's own note. Omit `list` only to deliberately use Inbox. An ambiguous or missing list writes nothing and returns candidates; ask the person, or set `create_if_missing` when they explicitly want a new list. Report the returned details status exactly.

  Parameters:

  • url — string — The URL being captured, if any.
  • list — string — List slug or title. Fuzzy-matched against the curator's lists. Omit to use Inbox.
  • note — string — The curator's own note on why they like or recommend this pick. Shown to readers as written and never rewritten by AI, so capture it in the curator's voice when they give a reason.
  • title — string — Short title for the pick (e.g. restaurant name, book title). Required when url is absent.
  • author — string — Author or creator as the person gives it (books, articles, posts), e.g. from "Title - Author - why". Stored as the pick's author and never replaced by added details. Keep it out of the note.
  • idempotency_key — string — Optional retry key. Reusing it with identical input replays the first result.
  • create_if_missing — boolean — When true and no list matches `list`, create that private list and save there.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• add_items

  Add up to 50 picks to one list in a single call, in order. Unlike add_item this never falls back to the Inbox: `list` must resolve to exactly one of the curator's lists or nothing is written.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.
  • items (required) — array — Up to 50 picks, added in the order given.
  • idempotency_key — string — Stable key for this reviewed batch. Reuse the same key and identical picks after a lost response.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• import_from_url

  Import picks into a list from one link: a Google Maps list shared with "Anyone with the link" (every place, in order, with the owner's notes; pasting it again adds only new places), a Google Maps place (one pick) or a public YouTube playlist (up to 500 videos). Spotify playlists and Letterboxd lists no longer let apps read them; the tool says so, and the person can bring their export in Curated instead. For a whole list you want to sort first, use start_import.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.
  • url (required) — string — A Google Maps shared list or place link (maps.app.goo.gl works), Spotify playlist, YouTube playlist (a link with list=) or Letterboxd list URL.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• start_import

  Bring a whole list in to sort, privately. Pass `url` for a Google Maps list shared with "Anyone with the link" (Curated reads every place), or `picks` you read yourself from anywhere else: a page, an account, a document or an export (up to 1,000 per call; send more with stage_picks). Nothing is added to a list until commit_import, and nothing is published.

  Parameters:

  • url — string — A Google Maps shared-list link (maps.app.goo.gl works). Omit when sending picks.
  • list — string — Optional destination list. Otherwise commit_import can make a new private list.
  • sort — boolean — True when most entries are probably not recommendations (an account's posts, saved posts): everything arrives unsorted for the person to keep or skip. Default false: everything arrives kept.
  • picks — array
  • title — string — The source list's own name, e.g. "@tinnedfish's posts" or "Films I rewatch". Required with picks.
  • own_list — boolean — True (default) when the source is the person's own: their notes become their notes. False for someone else's list or account: words stay credited to them.
  • source_owner — string — Whose list or account it is, when it is not the person's own, e.g. "@tinnedfish". Credits them on the list.
  • idempotency_key — string — Optional retry key. Reusing it with identical input replays the first result.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• stage_picks

  Add up to 1,000 more picks to an import started with start_import, for sources longer than one call.

  Parameters:

  • import_id (required) — string — The id start_import returned.
  • picks (required) — array
  • sort — boolean — Same meaning as in start_import.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world no

• review_import read-only

  Read an import's entries with their ids and states (kept, skipped, unsorted), to show the person or to sort.

  Parameters:

  • import_id (required) — string
  • state — string — Only entries in this state.
  • offset — integer

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• sort_import

  Keep or skip entries in an import, by id or all unsorted at once, as the person decides. Never decide for them which posts are recommendations; suggest, then ask.

  Parameters:

  • import_id (required) — string
  • keep — array — Entry ids to keep.
  • rest — string — Then keep or skip every entry still unsorted.
  • skip — array — Entry ids to skip.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• commit_import

  Add the kept entries of an import to a list, privately: the list given at start_import, another list of theirs, or a new private list. Safe to retry; nothing is added twice. A Google Maps list can stay connected so new saves there show up later.

  Parameters:

  • import_id (required) — string
  • list — string — Destination, when start_import had none. Omit to make a new private list.
  • connect — boolean — Keep a Google Maps list connected (default true).
  • new_list_title — string — Title for a new list. Defaults to the source's title.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• list_sources read-only

  Show what one of the person's lists is connected to: when it was last checked, what is new and waiting, and what is gone at the source.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• check_source

  Read a connected list's source again now (up to 10 times a day per list). New entries arrive by the list's policy; nothing is removed.

  Parameters:

  • source_id (required) — string — A connection id from list_sources.
  • policy — string — Optionally change what happens to new entries first: wait to be sorted (ask) or be added privately (add_private). Add and publish is set in Curated, after the person verifies the list is theirs.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• list_items read-only

  Read every pick in one of your lists, in reader order, with item ids. Call this before update_item or remove_item to get the id you need.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• search_items read-only

  Search the person's own picks on every list they made, the Inbox included, by name, their note, details, list title or link site. Forgives small typos. Useful to find something they kept, or to check for a duplicate before add_item.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Words the person remembers: a name, something from their note, a place.
  • list — string — Optional list slug or title to scope the search.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• update_item destructive

  Edit one pick's title, curator note, URL or author. The note is the curator's own words and is never rewritten by AI, so preserve their voice.

  • url — string — New URL. Pass an empty string to clear it.
  • note — string — New curator note. Pass an empty string to clear it.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent yes · open-world no

• remove_item destructive

  Remove one pick from a list. Curated keeps it with its note, links and saves, and restore_item puts it back. Confirm with the curator first. Changes the working version only; readers keep seeing the last approved version until the owner approves a list update.

  Parameters:

  • itemId (required) — string — Item id from list_items or search_items.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent yes · open-world no

• removed_items read-only

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.
  • cursor — string — nextCursor from the previous removed_items page; omit for the newest picks.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• restore_item

  Put a removed pick back on its list where it was, with the same id, note, details, links and saves. Changes the working version only; readers keep seeing the last approved version until the owner approves a list update.

  Parameters:

  • itemId (required) — string — removedId from remove_item, or an id from removed_items.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• reorder_items destructive

  Put a list's picks in a new order. Pass every item id exactly once, first to last, and the `revision` from list_items; if the list changed since, nothing is written and the current revision comes back. Changes the working order only; readers keep seeing the last approved version until the owner approves a list update. Private lists stay private.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.
  • order (required) — array — Every item id in the list, in the new order.
  • revision (required) — string — The `revision` list_items returned.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent yes · open-world no

• move_items destructive

  Move picks from one of the person's lists to another, keeping each pick's note, details and history. They go to the end of the destination in the order given. Pass the source list's `revision` from list_items; if it changed since, nothing moves. Changes the working versions only; readers keep seeing the last approved versions. On a live destination, call review_items and confirm_items for the moved picks after the person's approval. Updating the source's published version requires separate owner approval. Private lists stay private. An archived list can't take picks until it is unarchived.

  Parameters:

  • from (required) — string — The list the picks are in now.
  • to (required) — string — The list to move them to.
  • itemIds (required) — array — Item ids from list_items on the `from` list.

• review_items

  After adding or importing picks, fetch their enriched preview here. If preparing, wait briefly and call again. Render previewMarkdown: supplied artwork, title/byline, original note, short description and labeled links for every pick. Keep reviewId and itemRefs internal. Omit IDs, positions, confidence scores and provenance commentary. Ask once if it looks good. No app visit or later list update is needed. An unfinished preview survives reconnecting.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• pick_review_status read-only

  Parameters:

  • reviewId (required) — string — reviewId from review_items.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• confirm_items

  After the person approves the enriched preview from review_items, finish adding those exact picks. Published lists show them immediately; private lists stay private. Never approves unrelated edits.

  Parameters:

  • reviewId (required) — string — reviewId from review_items.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• publish_list

  Prepare first publication or a list-wide update. For new picks use review_items and confirm_items during addition. Publishes nothing. Returns exactly what would become public and, when this connection may publish from chat, a review to confirm with confirm_publication after the owner agrees. Otherwise it returns a browser link where the owner publishes. Show the supplied public URL as a clickable link labeled "Link after publishing", distinct from the owner-only review link. The returned preview is the exact public content: present it as written, with no added images, layouts or caveats.

  Parameters:

  • list (required) — string — Which list: exact slug, handle/slug, or id from a previous result.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no
