How do I get my Attio Personal Access Token?

Log in to your Attio account, go to **Workspace Settings > Developers**, and you can create a new Personal Access Token (PAT) there.

What are 'Attributes' in Attio?

Attributes are the columns or fields on an object (e.g., Name, Email, Deal Value). You can list them using the `list_attributes` tool.

How does 'assert_record' work?

The `assert_record` tool performs an 'upsert'. It checks if a record with a specific matching attribute (like an email address) already exists. If it does, it updates it; if not, it creates a new record.
