Tools & capabilities
Adeu tools 6
accept_all_changesAccepts every tracked change in the document, producing a finalized clean document. remove_comments (boolean, DEFAULT TRUE): also delete every comment. The default is TRUE because this tool's purpose is a distributable clean document, and comments are internal review notes that must not travel to a counterparty. Pass remove_comments=false to accept the tracked changes while KEEPING the comments — use that when the review conversation is still live. Either way the response reports how many comments were deleted and names each one with its author, and comments whose anchored text an accepted deletion consumes are removed regardless, exactly as Word does. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]apply_text_revisionApplies whole-text revised text to a DOCX document by computing a diff and generating tracked changes. Includes a clean-text verification gate to ensure the applied document matches the supplied text. `revised_text` must be the complete CLEAN view of the document: read it with `read_docx` (`clean_view=true`, `page='all'`), edit that text, and send ALL of it back. Never CriticMarkup ({++, {--, {>>) — this tool diffs against the clean view, so markup tokens would land in the document as literal prose. Never one page of a paginated extract — everything absent from the text is applied as a tracked deletion. INTERLOCK: a revision that drops >50% of the characters (>75% for documents under 2000 characters) is refused unless you pass allow_major_deletions=true. If the applied document's clean text does not then match `revised_text`, NOTHING is written to output_path: a diagnostic copy is kept at <name>.unverified.docx and the call fails. output_path defaults to <name>_redlined.docx; an existing _redlined/_processed artifact is revised in place. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]diff_docx_filesCompares two DOCX files and returns a compact `@@ Word Patch @@` diff — Adeu's token-level, sub-word patch format — of their text content. Useful for analyzing differences between versions before editing. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]finalize_documentPrepares a document for external distribution or e-signature. Note: in this zero-dependency environment, protection_mode='encrypt' is unsupported and falls back to a native read-only lock; export_pdf and password are ignored. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]process_document_batchApplies a batch of edits and review actions to a DOCX. Batches apply SEQUENTIALLY: each change validates against state from prior changes. Valid changes apply when others fail (salvage default): response LEADS with `PARTIAL: applied K of N` listing unapplied changes. Pass partial=false for all-or-nothing. Each item in `changes` needs a `type`: 1. 'modify': search-and-replace. `target_text` must match uniquely (`match_mode`:'strict', default) — add context or set `match_mode`:'first'/'all'. Set `regex`:true for regex matching (groups in `new_text` as $1, $2…). `new_text` supports Markdown: '#'–'######' headings, '**bold**', '_italic_', '\n\n' paragraph split. Omit it (with a comment) to annotate without changing text; empty string deletes. Never write CriticMarkup manually — use `comment`. • EMPTY CELLS: blank cells carry `{#cell:<id>}` anchors — set `target_text` to the anchor and value in `new_text`. Pipes are display separators. 2. 'accept'/'reject': finalize or revert a tracked change by `target_id` (e.g. 'Chg:12'). 3. 'reply': reply to a comment by `target_id` (e.g. 'Com:5') with `text`. 4. 'set_field': fill a form field — `field` is its 'CC:<N>' id, tag or alias, `value` the text; list via `read_docx` `mode`:'fields'. Checkboxes take true/false, dates YYYY-MM-DD, dropdowns a listed option. Dual-writes bound stores. A locked/protected control refuses and names the override permitting it. 5. 'insert_row': add table row — `target_text` anchors on an existing row's text, `cells` holds cell values (left-to-right), `position` is 'above'/'below' (default below). 'delete_row': remove row matching `target_text`. Disk mode only. ID VOLATILITY: 'Chg:N'/'Com:N' ids shift between states — call `read_docx` before accept/reject/reply; never reuse ids from earlier turns. `author_name` sets Track Changes attribution; defaults to 'Adeu AI (TS)' when omitted. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]read_docxReads a DOCX file. Returns text with inline CriticMarkup for Tracked Changes and Comments: {++inserted++}, {--deleted--}, {==highlighted==}{>>comment<<}. Set clean_view=True for the finalized 'Accepted' text without markup. Modes: - 'full' (default): paginated body content. Use page=N to navigate. - 'outline': heading map only — start here for large docs to plan targeted reads. Defaults to L1-L2 headings; pass outline_max_level=3-6 to see deeper structure. - 'appendix': defined terms, anchors, and cross-reference targets. Consult before editing legal/technical docs to avoid breaking references. - 'changes' (mode='changes'): a ledger of every tracked change and comment (id, type, author, page, snippet) — start here for review work instead of reading pages. Filter with changes_author, page, and changes_offset. - 'fields' (mode='fields'): a ledger of every content control (ordinal, class, alias/tag, location, lock/binding state, current value) — start here to discover fillable fields. Paginate with fields_offset; `page` and `search_query` do not apply. `page`: a positive integer (1-indexed, default 1), a page RANGE like '2-6' (returns up to 8 pages in one call, then names the next range), or 'all'. Pages are synthetic length-based chunks sized for LLM consumption, NOT printed Word pages. In mode='full', page='all' returns the whole body with no page chrome; oversized documents are refused with an outline and a bounded-read recipe unless force=true. With `search_query`, `page` instead restricts matches to that page (default: search all pages). [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]
Dreamwork tools 71
list_matchesReturns the account's ranked live match pool with job id, its Dreamwork page url, title, company, location, remote terms, salary, dates, match percent and saved/applied state. Filters narrow that pool; nextCursor continues a page with identical filters, and null ends the walk. A page holds 10 jobs by default and limit accepts up to 50; the next page is the previous nextCursor, which keeps the page size it was issued with. addedAfter supports overlapping discovery windows because listings can become servable after first discovery. notes describe applied filters and coverage.get_jobReturns one saved or corpus role by id with full description, company, location and remote terms, salary, posted date, match score, saved state, board column, application id, material readiness and work-eligibility verdict. url is the Dreamwork listing page; sourceUrl is the employer's direct posting. eligible is true for an unrestricted role or a confirmed allowed country, false for a high-confidence restriction excluding confirmed countries, and null when eligibility is unknown. Only false blocks applying or Autopilot: null means eligibility is not yet known, so proceed with applying — the application itself surfaces any real restriction. whyItMatches may be empty when no matcher explanation is stored.save_jobSaves one role to the account's pipeline at SAVED as a bookmark. No application is submitted or queued until apply is called. Application materials may start preparing in the background. An already saved role returns a no-op receipt.dismiss_matchHides one role, every listing with the same employer and title in any location, from the account's match feed, job alerts and Autopilot until the account restores or saves it. The receipt offers undo for one minute; restore_match reverses it at any time and list_dismissed_matches lists dismissed listings. The supplied reason is not stored. It does not hide other roles from the same company and does not move or remove an existing pipeline card.restore_matchReverses the dismissal of a role, every listing with the same employer and title, so it can return to the account's match feed, job alerts and Autopilot. Restoring a listing that is not dismissed returns a no-op receipt. Restoring does not save the listing. A closed listing stays out of the feed.list_dismissed_matchesReturns the account's dismissed listings, newest first, with listing id, title, company, Dreamwork page url, dismissal time and whether the listing is still active. total counts all dismissed listings. limit defaults to 20 and accepts up to 50; nextOffset continues the list and null ends it.get_pipelineReturns saved and applied roles as board cards with column, application id and last-updated time. total and counts cover all matching records; complete identifies whether cards are truncated by limit. limit defaults to 50 cards and accepts up to 100; there is no next page, so when complete is false narrow the read with status. Column values describe board state and do not establish employer receipt or response.move_pipelineMoves one role's board card to the requested column using the account holder's reported state. No employer is contacted. APPLIED records an application rather than submitting one; INTERVIEWING creates a durable interview record. WITHDRAWN removes the card from the active board. Closing a role can remove its listing from the feed. A receipt offers undo only when reversible.mark_applied_offsiteRecords an application the account holder submitted outside Dreamwork. Exactly one of matchId, listingId or url names the role; a role not yet in the pipeline is added in Applied without generating materials, and an unlisted URL is imported in the background. appliedAt (YYYY-MM-DD or ISO 8601, not in the future) is the reported application date and defaults to now; repeating the call with a new appliedAt corrects it. attestation:true is required and represents the person's confirmation that submission occurred. Recorded roles are excluded from matches and Autopilot. Applications Dreamwork is still sending are refused. There is no undo. This call does not send an application.import_jobFetches a public job-posting URL and imports it as a private role in the account's pipeline. Extraction runs asynchronously and the card appears when it finishes. A posting already held by Dreamwork returns completed without another fetch.cancel_applyStops a queued or in-progress application when submission can still be prevented. Already submitted applications cannot be recalled; the receipt reports that boundary.generate_packQueues a tailored resume, cover letter and employer-question answers for one saved role. assets optionally selects a subset; omission requests all three. Each request spends one pack allowance, regardless of subset, and generation settles asynchronously. Existing materials can be overwritten by generation.- +59 more on the listing page
