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.
selected_property:property_id,property_nameand the person’srolethere;nullwhen called withoutproperty_id.properties: every community this connection reaches, the same three fields each.
structuredContent follows this JSON Schema, also in tools/list as outputSchema:
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"selected_property": {
"type": ["object", "null"],
"properties": {
"property_id": { "type": "string" },
"property_name": { "type": "string" },
"role": { "type": "string" }
},
"required": ["property_id", "property_name", "role"],
"description": "Null when called without property_id."
},
"properties": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"property_id": { "type": "string" },
"property_name": { "type": "string" },
"role": { "type": "string" }
},
"required": ["property_id", "property_name", "role"]
}
}
},
"required": ["selected_property", "properties"]
}
Notes
- Called without
property_id, it answers even when the person has several communities: it’s how an assistant learns their ids. - PorchQ keeps no “current community” for an app. Pass
property_idon every later call; this tool only checks one and lists the choices.
