Available tools 17

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

devicemagic

devicemagic_approve_device

WRITE: approves a device that is waiting for approval (pending_approval is true) so it can receive forms. Approving an approved device has no effect. POST /organizations/{org}/devices/{id}/approve.

devicemagic_describe_resource

Metadata of one resource: status, version and, for spreadsheets, its tables and columns. The file content itself is not downloaded. GET /api/resources/{id}/describe.json.

devicemagic_get_destination

One destination of a form. Credentials and tokens of the destination are never returned. GET /api/forms/{form_id}/destinations/{id}.json.

devicemagic_get_device

One device: id, identifier, owner, description, pending_approval, groups and custom attributes. GET /organizations/{org}/devices/{id}.json.

devicemagic_get_dispatch

One dispatch of a device including the values it was prefilled with. GET /api/v3/devices/{identifier}/dispatches/{id}.json?include_inputs=true.

devicemagic_get_form

One form's definition: title and its questions/pages with identifiers and types (the identifiers are the keys inside submissions and dispatch payloads). Optionally a specific version. GET /organizations/{org}/forms/{id}.json.

devicemagic_list_destinations

List where one form's submissions are sent (e-mail, Dropbox, database, ...): id, active flag, format and transport types, timestamps. GET /api/forms/{id}/destinations.json.

devicemagic_list_device_dispatches

Outstanding dispatches of one device. GET /api/v2/devices/{identifier}/dispatches.json.

devicemagic_list_devices

List the organization's devices (phones, tablets, web-form users): id, identifier, owner, description, group and whether approval is pending. GET /organizations/{org}/devices.json.

devicemagic_list_dispatch_recipients

Devices and web-forms users a dispatch can be sent to (first 100 by default; use items and page for more). GET /api/v3/dispatch_authors.json.

devicemagic_list_dispatches

Outstanding dispatches (prefilled forms pushed to devices and not yet completed) of the whole organization: id, form name and namespace, device, scheduled time. Dispatch is an Enterprise-plan feature. GET /api/v2/organizations/{org}/dispatches.json.

devicemagic_list_forms

List the organization's forms: id, namespace (the form's unique id used for dispatching), version, description and group. GET /organizations/{org}/forms.json.

devicemagic_list_groups

List the organization's groups (which devices see which forms), optionally narrowed by a name filter or by tags. GET /api/v2/organizations/{org}/groups.json.

devicemagic_list_resources

List the organization's resources (lookup tables and files used by forms): id, original filename, version, description. GET /api/resources.json.

devicemagic_list_submissions

Submitted data of one form, newest data as stored in the form's Device Magic Database destination (it must be active on that form). Each record has form info, metadata (device, user, submitted_at, received_at, submission_id) and the answers. The reply says current_page, total_pages and total_count. Filter by from_date/to_date (yyyy-mm-dd). GET /api/forms/{id}/device_magic_database.json.

devicemagic_revoke_dispatch

WRITE: withdraws one outstanding dispatch from a device (the form disappears from the device). It cannot be undone, but the dispatch can be sent again. DELETE /api/v2/devices/{identifier}/dispatches/{id}.json.

devicemagic_send_dispatch

WRITE: pushes a form, optionally prefilled, to one device where its user will see it (like assigning a job). Not idempotent: calling it twice sends two dispatches. Needs the Enterprise plan. The form is named by its namespace (list_forms); `payload` maps question identifiers (get_form) to prefilled values (subforms = nested objects, repeat groups = arrays). POST /api/v2/devices/{identifier}/dispatches.json.
