Tools

• beaconcrm_create_record ~317 tokens
  WRITE: create ONE new record of the given type in the live Beacon database. Not idempotent: calling it twice creates two records (use beaconcrm_upsert_record to avoid duplicates). Beacon workflows may run as a result. Invalid field values are rejected with the rule that failed. POST /entity/{entity}
• beaconcrm_delete_record Deletes data · ~234 tokens
  WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE: delete ONE record. Beacon keeps deleted records as 'archived' (listable with archived=true), but this server has no restore tool, so treat the deletion as irreversible. Related data that depends on the record may be affected. It is sent once and never retried. DELETE /entity/{ent
• beaconcrm_filter_records ~678 tokens
  Search records of one type with Beacon filter conditions (read-only; it uses POST because the filter is a body). Each condition is {"field", "operator", "value"}. Operators by field type: text == != starts_with ends_with contains not_contains null not_null; select (value is an array) contains not_co
• beaconcrm_get_record ~204 tokens
  One record by type and id, with all its fields. GET /entity/{entity}/{id}.
• beaconcrm_list_exports ~168 tokens
  List recent export jobs with status, progress (100 = complete) and, when complete, a signed download url. Pass entity_export_id to check one job started by beaconcrm_trigger_export. GET /entity_exports.
• beaconcrm_list_record_types ~117 tokens
  List the record types of this Beacon account (people, organisations, payments, custom types, ...) with their fields (keys, types, options). Call this first: the keys are what the other tools take as `entity` and as field names. GET /entity_types.
• beaconcrm_list_records ~379 tokens
  List records of one type (for example person, organization, payment), one page at a time. Use beaconcrm_filter_records to search by field values. GET /entities/{entity}.
• beaconcrm_list_users ~156 tokens
  List the users of the Beacon account (id, role, name, email). Use the inner user.id for 'link to a user' fields. GET /users.
• beaconcrm_trigger_export ~195 tokens
  WRITE: start an export job from an existing export template (created in Beacon). Returns the new export's id with status in_progress; then poll beaconcrm_list_exports with that id until progress is 100 and it carries a download url. Each call starts another job. POST /entity_export/trigger.
• beaconcrm_update_record ~345 tokens
  WRITE: change fields of ONE existing record. Only the fields you pass are changed; a select or reference field passed as an empty array [] is CLEARED, removing its existing values. The previous values are not kept by this tool. Beacon workflows may run as a result. PATCH /entity/{entity}/{id}.
• beaconcrm_upsert_record ~412 tokens
  WRITE: create a record, or update the existing one whose key field matches. `primary_field_key` names the field used to find the match (for example "emails" for a person, or "external_id"); `fields` must contain a value for it. If a record matches it is UPDATED with the given fields (an empty array
