  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 21 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 158 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 158 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

parabol_add_comment

MUTATES Parabol data: add a comment to a meeting discussion thread. Required: content (stringified TipTap/ProseMirror JSON document), discussionId, threadSortOrder (Int). Optionally isAnonymous or threadParentId (to reply). Parabol GraphQL: addComment(comment) → union. Requires COMMENTS_WRITE.

Discovered
parabol_create_reflection

MUTATES Parabol data: add a reflection card to a running retrospective's reflect phase. Required: meetingId, promptId (the reflect-prompt/column), sortOrder (Float). `content` (optional) is a stringified TipTap/ProseMirror JSON document (<=2000 chars). Parabol GraphQL: createReflection(input). Requires MEETINGS_WRITE.

Discovered
parabol_create_task

MUTATES Parabol data: create a task on a team. Required: teamId and status (active|stuck|done|future). Provide `plaintextContent` for the task text (and/or `content`, which is a stringified TipTap/ProseMirror JSON document). Optionally assign to a userId or link to a meetingId/discussionId. Parabol GraphQL: createTask(newTask, area). Requires TASKS_WRITE.

Discovered
parabol_get_meeting

Fetch one meeting by id with its phases and stages. For a retrospective it also returns the reflection groups and reflections plus vote/topic/task/comment counts. Uses __typename so you can tell meeting types apart. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.meeting(meetingId). Requires MEETINGS_READ.

Discovered
parabol_get_organization

Fetch one organization by id, including its teams. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.organization(orgId). Requires ORGS_READ (+ TEAMS_READ for teams).

Discovered
parabol_get_team

Fetch one team by id: metadata, its team members (with each member's user), active meetings, and organization. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.team(teamId). Requires TEAMS_READ (+ MEETINGS_READ for activeMeetings, ORGS_READ for organization).

Discovered
parabol_get_viewer

Fetch the authenticated Parabol user (the token owner): id, preferredName, email, tier, and the team ids (tms) they belong to. Parabol GraphQL: query { viewer { ... } }. Requires the USERS_READ scope. Start here to discover your identity and team ids.

Discovered
parabol_graphql

MUTATES Parabol data (potentially): escape hatch to run an arbitrary Parabol GraphQL operation — including any mutation — against action.parabol.co/graphql with optional variables. Use for operations not covered by the curated tools. Your token must carry the scope the operation requires. Prefer parabol_query for read-only calls.

Discovered
parabol_invite_to_team

MUTATES Parabol data: send team invitations by email. Required: teamId and invitees (an array of email addresses). Optionally scope to a meetingId. Parabol GraphQL: inviteToTeam(teamId, invitees). Requires TEAMS_WRITE.

Discovered
parabol_list_active_meetings

List a team's currently-active (in-progress) meetings. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.team(teamId).activeMeetings. Requires TEAMS_READ + MEETINGS_READ.

Discovered
parabol_list_meetings

List past/ongoing meetings for one or more teams (Relay connection), newest first. `teamIds` is required. `meetingTypes` defaults to all four (retrospective, action, poker, teamPrompt). `before` bounds the window (defaults to now); paginate older with `after`. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.meetings. Requires MEETINGS_READ.

Discovered
parabol_list_organization_users

List the users in an organization (Relay connection): each org-user's role, joinedAt, tier, and underlying user (preferredName, email). Paginate with `first` + `after` (pass the last edge's `cursor`). Parabol GraphQL: viewer.organization(orgId).organizationUsers. Requires ORGS_READ + USERS_READ.

List the organizations the viewer belongs to: id, name, tier, billingTier. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.organizations. Requires ORGS_READ.

Discovered
parabol_list_tasks

List the viewer's tasks (Relay connection), optionally filtered by team, user, status, archived state, or a text query. Paginate with `first` + the `after` DateTime cursor. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.tasks. Requires TASKS_READ.

Discovered
parabol_list_team_members

List the members of a team, each with role flags (isLead, isOrgAdmin) and the underlying user (preferredName, email). Parabol GraphQL: viewer.team(teamId).teamMembers. Requires TEAMS_READ.

Discovered
parabol_list_teams

List the teams the viewer belongs to, with each team's id, name, orgId, tier, and team lead. Parabol GraphQL: viewer.teams. Requires the TEAMS_READ scope.

Discovered
parabol_query

Escape hatch: run an arbitrary Parabol GraphQL QUERY (read-only) against action.parabol.co/graphql with optional variables. Mutations are REJECTED — use the dedicated write tools or parabol_graphql for those. Useful for fields not covered by the curated read tools. Requires the matching read scope(s) on your token.

Discovered
parabol_start_checkin

MUTATES Parabol data: start a new Check-in (Action) meeting for a team (returns the new meetingId). Required: teamId. Optionally name it. Parabol GraphQL: startCheckIn → union. Requires MEETINGS_WRITE.
