Perplexity

Control user status and rewards.

The `add_xp` tool lets you manually give XP points to any user. You can also use `remove_xp` if a mistake was made, or even issue a community ban using `ban_user`. This gives your AI agent full control over member progression.

Handle core community data.

Need to know what's going on? Use `get_community` to grab basic info, or check if someone belongs with `check_member`. You can also list all existing modules and quests via `list_modules` and `list_quests`, which helps you structure your next campaign.

Manage content secrets.

If you're setting up an API task, the `create_secret` tool handles it. You can also manage webhooks for external triggers using `create_webhook` or deleting them with `delete_webhook`. These tools let your Claude Desktop client build reliable automation pipelines.
