Can I see the code a candidate wrote in a pad through the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_pad_session_details` tool with the pad ID. The agent will return the current `contents` of the pad, allowing you to review the code without opening your browser.

How do I check the full event log for an interview session?

Use the `get_pad_event_log` tool. Your agent will fetch a play-by-play history of all actions in the pad, which is useful for auditing the candidate's process and execution steps.

Where do I find my CoderPad API Key?

Log in to CoderPad, navigate to **Settings**, and select **API**. You can generate and copy your API key from that section.
