Pulled straight from the server with tools/list on 2026-10-18.
connection_inforead-only

Verify the current connection: owner.id is the human public User ID, handle identifies the robot, and home_room is its delivery room. After login or reconnect, match owner.id and handle to the approved account and robot before sending. A mismatch means stop and reload or restart the MCP client. Includes a credential-protected latest-pings feed and token-free install URL; never send credentials to

disconnectcan modify

Revoke this authenticated robot connection, including its access and refresh credentials and room memberships. Use only when the human explicitly requests logout, disconnection, or reconnection. Call BEFORE clearing local credentials or running MCP logout/login. It affects only the current connection and accepts no account or robot selector. After login, restart or reload the MCP client, then matc

list_roomsread-only

List the rooms the authenticated account belongs to.

list_quick_actionsread-only

List the quick actions configured for a room.

trigger_quick_action

Press a room quick action, notifying its members. Rate-limited. Read the action's input_type first (list_quick_actions): location needs data.location, link needs data.url, file/photo/pdf need attachment_ids — a press without the matching detail is a 422 quick_action_input_required. In someone else's personal room is_urgent and requires_ack are ignored; only the owner's own setting on the action ap

broadcast

Send a custom ping to a room the account belongs to. Pass data.checklist.items to send a checklist the room ticks through together; read the ticks back as checklist_state. Rate-limited. In someone else's personal room only a Pro account may send it, text only, without title, is_urgent or requires_ack (all three are ignored there), and it counts toward the visitor's two-ping cap; otherwise use trig

live_statuscan modify

Start, update, or end a live progress card on the room members' lock screen (an iOS Live Activity / Android live update). Reuse the same correlation_id for every ping of one stream: the first ping starts the card and sends one alert, further "running" pings move it silently, and the first "done"/"failed" sends one completion alert and ends it. Free accounts get a small number of NEW streams per da

get_live_statusread-only

Read back the current state of a live stream you created, so a restarted producer can reconcile instead of starting a duplicate. Only returns streams started by this credential, within the last 24 hours. Returns notification_id and correlation_id, then the stored display state (state, progress, message, category, template, accent_override, eta_at, deadline_at, duration_seconds, metrics, prompt, op

list_room_iconsread-only

List the room-icon catalog (icon ids, tags, and categories). Call this before create_room / create_public_room / create_webhook to pick a valid icon id, and to interpret icon values returned by reads.

list_notificationsread-only

List a bounded page of recent pings across approved rooms, newest first. Use page to continue while has_more is true.

get_notificationread-only

Fetch one visible ping by notification id, including its current action_state and, once anything on its data.checklist is checked, checklist_state.

wait_for_notificationread-only

Long-poll for the next ping. Blocks until one arrives or the timeout elapses — the real-time inbound channel for an agent. The agent's own sends are excluded.

wait_for_ackread-only

Long-poll a generic acknowledgement-required ping until its confirmation rule is met (any: first confirmation; all: every original eligible recipient), it expires, or the timeout elapses. Questions use wait_for_answer instead.

request_approval

Ask the human to approve or reject an action, then block on their answer (pair with wait_for_approval). Delivered as a push to the connected human only, so like a direct ask_question to them it needs no trigger permission in the room; public and personal rooms are refused. Rate-limited.

wait_for_approvalread-only

Long-poll an approval request until the human decides or it expires. Returns the status and, once decided, the chosen option.

get_approvalread-only

Fetch the current status of an approval request without blocking.

ask_question

Ask a person a question with 2-4 tappable options, then block on their answer (pair with wait_for_answer). Delivered as a push they can answer from the lock screen or in-app; the first valid answer wins. Rate-limited.

wait_for_answerread-only

Long-poll a question until it is answered or expires. Returns the state and, once answered, the chosen option value + label and the responder.

get_questionread-only

Fetch the current state of a question without blocking.

list_questionsread-only

List a bounded page of questions you asked, newest first. Optionally filter by state; use page while has_more is true.

cancel_questioncan modify

Withdraw a still-pending question you asked.

activate_agent_inbox

Start or resume the onboarding Question in the private room the human chose during authorization. If recipient_not_ready, ask the human to install or update PingRoom from install_url, open the app, sign in, and enable notifications before retrying. Read question.id, then call wait_for_handoff only while state is pending and within a bounded local deadline. Success is answered with activation_compl

create_handoff

Hand work to exactly one human as either an acknowledgement or a tappable question. The server verifies that one of the recipient's current devices supports the complete Handoff action before creating anything.

wait_for_handoff

Long-poll a Handoff until the human resolves it, it expires, or the bounded timeout elapses. For the onboarding Question returned by activate_agent_inbox, success requires an answered result with activation_completed true; use a bounded local deadline and treat any terminal answer without that stamp as incomplete.

get_handoffread-only

Fetch the authoritative current state of one Handoff without blocking.

list_handoffsread-only

List a bounded page of this agent's Handoffs, newest first. Omit state (or use open) for unresolved work; use all for history and page while has_more is true.

upload_attachment

Upload a small file (max ~90 KiB over MCP; Pro account required) and get an attachment id to include in broadcast or ask_question via attachment_ids. Larger files: use the PingRoom CLI or agent REST API.

get_attachmentread-only

Fetch an attachment visible to this agent as base64 content plus metadata. Results over the connector size limit return attachment_too_large — fetch those via the agent REST API instead.

delete_attachmentcan modify

Delete an attachment this agent uploaded that is not yet claimed by a ping.

get_roomread-only

Fetch a single room by its invite code, including members and quick actions.

create_room

Create a new private room owned by the authenticated account. Free accounts may own up to five rooms. If this agent was granted every room and has no delivery room yet, the new room becomes its delivery room — where its handoffs and direct questions land.

create_public_room

Create a publicly discoverable room with a unique @handle. Counts toward the free-plan five-room cap.

join_roomcan modify

Join a room using its invite code. Include the password only if the room is protected.

list_webhooksread-only

List the incoming webhooks (with their trigger URLs) for a room the account owns.

create_webhook

Create an incoming webhook for a room the account owns. The bound account must be Pro. Returns the secret trigger URL — treat it as a credential.

update_webhookcan modify

Update an incoming webhook (by id) on a room the account owns — e.g. change its icon, title, message, or sound.

delete_webhookcan modify

Delete an incoming webhook (by id) from a room the account owns.

update_quick_actioncan modify

Configure a numbered quick-action slot for a room the account owns. Sends a background room refresh to room members' devices.

update_quick_actionscan modify

Configure several of a room's quick-action slots in one call. Prefer this over repeated update_quick_action: each single-slot write wakes room members' devices with its own background refresh, so setting up four Pings one at a time spends four of a finite daily push budget on one operation. Slots you do not list are left exactly as they are, so this is also the right tool for editing a single Ping

set_avatarcan modify

Set this agent's avatar. Must be one of the PingRoom bot avatars.

rotate_handlecan modify

Rotate this agent's public handle — kill-switch for a leaked handle.
