Arguments

Argument Type Required About
property_id string No The community’s public id (prop_web…). Pass it on every call.

What it returns

Every result has content (one short sentence for the person) and structuredContent (the data below). A tool that could not run answers with isError: true and a sentence saying why; see Errors and limits.

  • property: the community (id, name, address, time zone).
  • membership: the person’s role and unit.
  • stats: open_maintenance_requests, active_announcements, upcoming_events, open_ballots and documents, each counted as the person would see them in PorchQ (a resident’s open requests are their own). Owners and managers also get memberships and units.

structuredContent follows this JSON Schema, also in tools/list as outputSchema:
