Capabilities

Tools 6

get_community_icon

A community icon (generated on the website, public and marked unreviewed): its label, the request it was made for, what its motion shows, the dotLottie file URL, its page and the descriptor the runtime takes.

Discovered
get_icon

Everything needed to use one icon: its description, states, styles, weights, motions, the dotLottie file URL and hash, install commands, and JavaScript, React, iOS and Android snippets.

Discovered
list_categories

The library's categories with their ids and icon counts.

Discovered
read_guide

A guide as Markdown: "using-packages" (Install and use the packages), "using-icons" (Use an icon file), "creating-icons" (Create an icon), "ai-operating-guide" (AI operating guide), "design-principles" (Drawing principles), "motion-principles" (Motion principles), "limitations" (Known limitations).

Discovered
request_icon

When search_icons finds nothing that fits: a link where a person signed in with LottieFiles generates the icon on the website, in the family's style, in about three minutes. Give the link to the person you are helping; the icon then appears in search_icons as a community icon. Nothing is generated by this call.

Discovered
search_icons

Find icons by name or meaning. Matches labels, search terms (synonyms, UI slang, abbreviations) and, through embeddings, plain-language needs; tolerates typos. Returns the best matches first.
