Can I perform a quick search for a brand name?

Yes! Use the `post_search` action to trigger an immediate query. The tool will return a search hash, which you can then use with `get_mentions` to read the results.

How do I see the influencers for my tracked project?

Simply ask the agent to `get_influencers` and provide the Project ID. It will return the list of top voices mentioning your brand.

Does creating a search consume my account API credits?

Yes, standard API billing applies. You can always use the `get_remaining_credits` tool to check your quota before running large queries.
