ews_keychain_statusCheck whether the shared account password is available from the local override or macOS Keychain without revealing the password. If missing, returns required_action and setup_command that must be shown verbatim to the user.ews_setup_checkReturn whether EWS setup is ready, including env and password/Keychain checks. When ready is false, show user_message or setup_command and stop before scheduling.ews_signature_setup_guideReturn an HTML signature setup guide with a copyable sample, recommended local file path, and environment variables. Does not require EWS credentials.ews_get_audit_logRead recent local lifecycle audit entries for meeting preview, confirmed, duplicate, in-progress, and error actions. Does not read EWS credentials or call Exchange.ews_probeCheck that the configured EWS account can connect. Does not read calendar items.ews_list_calendarList upcoming events from the configured user's default calendar, including stored show_as and raw legacy_free_busy_status.ews_search_emailsRead-only search of messages in the configured Outlook inbox. Returns message metadata, exact EWS id and changekey, and does not mark messages as read or change mailbox state.ews_read_emailRead one message from the configured Outlook inbox by exact EWS id. Returns body, recipients, metadata, and attachment metadata without changing mailbox state.ews_send_email_to_selfSend an email only to the mailbox configured by EWS_EMAIL. The recipient is never accepted as an argument. Requires a stable idempotency_key for automation retries and uses Exchange EWS CreateItem followed by SendItem; it does not stop at a draft. Do not include passwords, tokens, or raw credential values in the subject, body, or idempotency key.ews_find_calendar_eventsRead-only search for calendar events in a time window. Returns exact EWS id and changekey metadata for safe preview-confirm update or cancel flows, plus stored show_as and raw legacy_free_busy_status.ews_verify_meetingVerify a calendar item by EWS id and optional changekey. Returns normalized organizer item status, stored show_as and raw legacy_free_busy_status, attendees, rooms/resources, and response_status values when Exchange exposes them.ews_list_roomsList Exchange meeting rooms from dynamic room lists, or configured static fallback rooms, as structured options for user selection.- +9 more on the listing page

loginSign in with an email address and store an API key on this machine. Called with only an email, it mails a six-digit code and returns nothing usable — the code has to come from the person, out of their inbox. Called with the email and that code, it stores a key at ~/.humansurvey/credentials and reports where it was written. The key itself is never printed. Signing in and signing up are the same act: an address that has never been used gets an account.get_catalogList the platforms HumanSurvey knows: the slug to use as catalog_slug, the display label, and which class of channel it is. These are the named channels a respondent can be shown — TikTok, ChatGPT, LinkedIn, Reddit and so on — plus the descriptive options that have no brand behind them, like "a friend or colleague told me". No API key needed.list_formsList the forms on this account: id, name, respondent URL, whether it is active or paused, whether it has been configured with questions yet, and how many responses it has collected.get_formRead one form: its settings, and the question configuration currently shown to respondents — every question, every candidate, and the order mode. Returns the configuration as JSON, because that is the exact shape a configuration write takes.create_formCreate a form and return its id, its respondent URL, and the iframe and postMessage listener to embed that URL in a host page. The form has no questions yet and shows nothing to respondents until it is configured. allowed_origins restricts which sites may embed it; leaving it empty allows any site, which means any site can spend this account’s response quota.configure_formSet the questions and candidates a form shows. Replaces the whole configuration and stores it as a new immutable version, so responses already collected keep describing the list they were actually shown. Re-sending an identical configuration reuses the existing version rather than making another. A form is one single-select question, optionally expanding into a second. Give a candidate an `expands` naming another question to reveal it when that candidate is picked — that is how "TikTok" becomes "which account". Candidate ids must be stable keys that survive a rename. Using a handle as an id splits that creator’s history in two the day they change it. Set catalog_slug to take a candidate’s label and logo from the platform catalog. Order defaults to "rotate", which randomizes per respondent and is what makes the reported shares unbiased; "fixed" keeps your order and accepts that earlier options get picked more often for being earlier.get_attributionWhat respondents said, aggregated. Reports, per question, how many completed responses named each candidate out of how many answered that question, the unresolved answers in the same list, how often a follow-up question failed to find an answer, and revenue where conversion events have been recorded. Computed fresh on every call, including any mappings made since — so a rollup of a past window can legitimately change between two reads.list_unresolvedThe answers respondents typed instead of picking from the list, grouped by the exact text and ordered by how often it was typed. Reports the spelling variants seen, when each was first and last typed, and whether a mapping already covers it. These are verbatim words. Two texts that read alike may be different people, and a text may name somebody who is not on the candidate list at all.remapRecord that a specific typed answer means a specific candidate. It applies to every response already carrying that text as well as every future one, so numbers reported for past windows change. The original text is never altered and a mapping can be revoked, but a report may already have been read. Only map a text whose meaning is established — a text that merely resembles a candidate’s name is not evidence that it is that candidate. One live mapping per text per question.revoke_remapStop a mapping from applying. The typed answers it covered return to the unresolved list — in past windows as well as future ones, because rollups join mappings when they are read rather than when they are made. Numbers already reported for those windows will therefore change. Nothing is deleted: the mapping is marked revoked and kept, so a report produced while it was live can still be explained. Revoking an already-revoked mapping is not an error and does not move the time it stopped applying. Mapping ids appear beside any text that is already mapped in the free-text listing, and in the confirmation given when a mapping is created.
