## Tools available

**29** tools available. First 12:

- `CARDLY_CREATE_CONTACT_LIST` — Create Contact List — Tool to add a new contact list. Use after defining name and optional custom fields, before populating the list with contacts.
- `CARDLY_CREATE_INVITATION` — Create Invitation — Tool to send an invitation to use your organisation portal. Use when you need to grant access to a new user by their email address. If the email already has access, the API will return an appropriate error.
- `CARDLY_CREATE_WEBHOOK` — Create Webhook — Tool to create a new webhook subscription. Use when you need Cardly to notify your application via HTTP POST for specific events.
- `CARDLY_DELETE_INVITATION` — Delete Invitation — Tool to delete an invitation by unique ID, immediately invalidating it for acceptance. Use when you need to revoke a pending invitation using its ID.
- `CARDLY_DELETE_INVITATION_BY_EMAIL` — Delete Invitation by Email — Deletes a pending invitation by email address, immediately invalidating it and preventing acceptance. This action is idempotent - deleting a non-existent invitation returns success. Use when you need to revoke access before an invitation is accepted, such as when correcting mistakes or revoking access for security reasons. Note: In test mode, the API returns an empty data object instead of the deleted invitation details.
- `CARDLY_DELETE_USER` — Delete User — Tool to delete a user by unique ID, immediately revoking their access to your organisation portal. Use when removing user access is required. Cannot remove users with administrator privileges - attempting to delete an admin will fail.
- `CARDLY_DELETE_USER_BY_EMAIL` — Delete User by Email — Deletes a user by email address, immediately revoking their access to your organisation portal. This action cannot remove users with administrator privileges. Use when you need to revoke user access, such as when employees leave or access needs to be terminated. The API returns a 404 if no matching user is found.
- `CARDLY_DELETE_WEBHOOK` — Delete Webhook — Tool to delete a webhook. Use after confirming the webhook ID to immediately cease all activity and event subscriptions for that webhook.
- `CARDLY_ECHO_REQUEST` — Echo Request — Tool to echo all request parameters, body, and headers for debugging purposes. Use when validating authentication or testing API connectivity without affecting account data.
- `CARDLY_GENERATE_PREVIEW` — Generate Preview — Tool to generate a low-quality, watermarked preview document for a card. Use after confirming artwork and template details to estimate costs and delivery.
- `CARDLY_GET_ARTWORK` — Get Artwork — Tool to retrieve information on a specific piece of artwork by its unique ID. Use when you need to fetch detailed artwork data including preview images, media specifications, and metadata. The ID can be obtained from the List Artwork action.
- `CARDLY_GET_WEBHOOK` — Get Webhook — Tool to get details on an existing webhook. Use this to retrieve information about a webhook's configuration, including its target URL, subscribed events, status, and metadata.

## How agents use Cardly

Inside a Definable workflow, Cardly is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Cardly** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Cardly (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Cardly** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Cardly (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Cardly** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Cardly (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Cardly call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
