- `cotlet_report_issue`: Sends a report straight to the Cotlet team: a tool that failed or returned wrong data, an error you could not get past, or a tool, field or app the task needed and Cotlet lacks. The report carries the error text and call_id when there is one, never passwords or tokens. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
- `cotlet_request_apps`: Requests access to apps for the user's workspace, as Request access in the console: every app is granted at once. An app with dedicated tools gets them after the user signs in to it in their Cloud Browser; any other works now in the user's Web browser with cotlet_app_guide, and the Cotlet team builds its dedicated tools on demand. Takes app slugs as listed at https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/apps. Free. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
- `cotlet_upload_file`: Returns a one-time upload_url and a file_id for a local file (an image for a post, an attachment). The file is sent to upload_url with an HTTP PUT; an argument that takes a file accepts {"file_id": "..."}. Up to 25 MB, the URL works once. Free. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.

- `delete_saved_search`: Delete one of this account's saved project searches and its email alert. Deletes the saved search from the signed-in account; its email alert stops with it.
- `get_account`: The signed-in PeoplePerHour account: name, type, buyer stats, unread messages and favourite counts. Returns the account the tools act as: member id, first name and initial, email, account type (buyer or seller), location, currency, profile URL, unread messages, buyer stats (projects posted, listed and completed, freelancers worked with, share of projects awarded, response time) and how many Offers, freelancers and projects it keeps as favourites or watches.
- `get_freelancer`: A freelancer's public profile: rate, stats, skills, portfolio and the latest reviews on the page. Returns a freelancer's public profile: short name, job title, location, hourly rate, CERT level, rating in percent, review and project counts, skills, languages, full About text, up to 30 portfolio items, and the reviews the profile page shows (usually the latest few, with the project they came from). reviews is the total count; PeoplePerHour does not let older reviews be paged, so only recent_reviews come with text. Times are UTC. Pass a freelancer_id from search_freelancers or an Offer, or the profile URL.
- `get_offer`: One Offer with its full description, what the seller needs from you, prices, add-ons and images. Returns one Offer as its page shows it: title, price in your account currency and in each currency the seller set, delivery days, sales, rating in percent with the count per star, full description, what the buyer must send, add-ons with their price and extra days, image links and the freelancer who sells it. Pass an offer_id from search_offers or the Offer's URL.
- `get_project`: One project's full brief with budget, attachments, interview questions, buyer and proposal count. Returns one project as its public page shows it: the buyer's full brief, budget, category, experience level, where it is done, links to the files the buyer attached, the questions the buyer asks in a proposal, how many proposals it has and whether it is still open. client is the buyer's public profile. Times are UTC. Pass a project_id from search_projects or the project's URL.
- `list_categories`: The 10 project categories with their subcategories and typical budgets per freelancer level. Returns PeoplePerHour's project categories and their subcategories. category is the slug search_projects and save_search take. median_budget is PeoplePerHour's median project budget in the subcategory, fixed price and hourly, by freelancer level (below level 4, level 4, level 5, Top CERT) and on average, in the currency asked for: a guide when pricing a proposal or a project.
- `list_my_projects`: Projects this account posted as a buyer, with status, budget and proposal count. Returns the projects the signed-in buyer posted, most recent proposal first, each with its status (open, in_progress, under_moderation, completed and so on), budget, proposal count and the start of the brief. counts is the number of projects per status. Archived projects come back only with status archived. Pass next_cursor back as cursor; it is null on the last page.
- `list_notifications`: The latest notifications of this account (proposals, messages, project updates) and unread counts. Returns the notifications under the bell on PeoplePerHour, newest first: text, link, whether it was read and when it came. unread counts unread notifications, proposals and WorkStream messages. Reading does not mark anything as read.
- `list_saved_searches`: This account's saved project searches with their filters and email alert setting. Returns the project searches the signed-in account saved on the Jobs page: title, email alert (Never, Daily or Instantly) and filters. filters.query and filters.category can go straight into search_projects. PeoplePerHour allows 10 saved searches per account.
- `list_watchlist`: Open projects on this account's watchlist (Favourite Jobs), with budget and proposal count. Returns the open projects the signed-in account watches, in the same shape as search_projects. A watched project that has closed drops off the list. Pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same limit; it is null on the last page.
- `list_workstreams`: This account's WorkStreams (conversations with hired freelancers) with the last message. Returns the WorkStreams of the signed-in account, the conversation PeoplePerHour opens for each hire: title, link, unread message count and the last message with its time. It reads, never sends: replying is done on PeoplePerHour. Pass next_cursor back as cursor; it is null on the last page.
- `save_search`: Save a project search with an email alert, or rename one or change how often it emails. Without saved_search_id it saves a new project search on the signed-in account, as Save on the Jobs page does: title, filters and an email alert (Never, Daily or Instantly) that PeoplePerHour sends to this account only. With saved_search_id it changes only the title and the alert of that search; PeoplePerHour keeps its filters, so make a new search for other filters and delete the old one. PeoplePerHour allows 10 saved searches per account.
- `search_freelancers`: Freelancers by skill or keyword, with rate, rating, reviews, completed projects and skills. Returns freelancers from the same search as Hire freelancers on PeoplePerHour: short name, profile URL, job title, location, hourly rate in the freelancer's currency, CERT level, rating in percent, review and project counts, skills and the start of their About text. hourly_rate filters in your account currency. get_freelancer returns the full profile. Pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same limit; it is null on the last page.
- `search_offers`: Fixed-price Offers freelancers sell, by keyword or price, with sales, rating and seller. Returns Offers (fixed-price services, once called Hourlies) from the same search as the Offers page on PeoplePerHour: title, price in your account currency, delivery days, sales, rating in percent, category, tags and the freelancer who sells it. get_offer returns the description, add-ons and images. Pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same limit; it is null on the last page.
- `search_projects`: Open projects buyers posted, newest first, with budget, category, proposals and the brief's start. Returns open projects from the same search as the Jobs page on PeoplePerHour, newest first. Filter by keyword, top category, or posting time: with since, only projects posted after it come back, so an agent polling for new work reads only what arrived since its last check. Times are UTC. budget.type is fixed_price or hourly (then the amount is per hour), in the buyer's currency. freelancer_country is set when only freelancers from that country may send a proposal. get_project returns the full brief. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page; it is null when nothing more matches. With since, one call scans at most 200 of the newest projects, so a page can hold fewer than limit and still have a next_cursor.
- `unwatch_project`: Take a project off this account's watchlist. Removes the project from the watchlist of the signed-in account. Nobody else is told.
- `watch_project`: Add a project to this account's watchlist (Favourite Jobs) to come back to it later. Adds the project to the watchlist of the signed-in account, the heart on the project page. The buyer is not notified. Watching a project already on the list changes nothing. list_watchlist reads the list and unwatch_project takes it off.
