Functions are defined in the device firmware and can control actuators (turn on pump, open valve), trigger calibrations, change device modes, or perform system tasks. Accepts a single string argument (max 63 characters) to pass to the function. Returns the function execution result code. Essential for remote device control, automation, and actuator management. AI agents should use this when users ask "turn on the water pump on device X", "trigger calibration on sensor Y", or need to remotely control any function exposed by a device. Execute a cloud function on a specific Particle IoT device

Essential for understanding device capabilities before interacting with it. AI agents should reference this when users ask "what variables does device X expose", "what functions can I call on device Y", or need to understand the specific interface of a device. Get detailed information about a specific Particle IoT device

Returns device IDs, names, online status, firmware versions, and last connection times. Essential for device inventory management, monitoring connection health, and selecting specific devices for interaction. AI agents should use this when users ask "show me all my devices", "list connected sensors", or need to identify available devices before reading variables or calling functions. List all Particle IoT devices connected to your account

Returns current online/offline status and last heard time. Essential for connectivity diagnostics, health monitoring, and verifying device availability before attempting to read variables or call functions. AI agents should reference this when users ask "is device X online", "check connectivity for sensor Y", or need to troubleshoot device communication issues. Check if a specific Particle IoT device is online and responsive

Events are broadcast to all subscribed listeners and can be used for inter-device communication, logging, alerting, or triggering external workflows via webhooks. Requires an event name and optional data string (max 255 bytes for data). Essential for sending alerts, logging custom data, and integrating with external systems like IFTTT or custom dashboards. AI agents should use this when users ask "send a low moisture alert", "publish a system status event", or need to broadcast data from the cloud to devices or webhooks. Publish a custom event to the Particle Cloud

Variables are defined in the device firmware and can represent sensor readings (temperature, humidity, soil moisture), system status, or configuration values. Returns the variable name, data type, and current value. Essential for real-time sensor monitoring, data collection, and system state verification. AI agents should use this when users ask "what is the temperature from sensor X", "read soil moisture from device Y", or need to get the current value of any sensor or status variable. Read the current value of a cloud variable from a specific device

This name appears in the console and API responses, making it easier to identify devices. Essential for device organization, fleet management, and improving readability of device lists. AI agents should use this when users ask "rename device X to Greenhouse Sensor 1", "change the name of device Y to Pump Controller", or need to update device naming for better organization. Rename a specific Particle IoT device

This action is irreversible for the current account and should be used when transferring device ownership or decommissioning devices. Essential for device lifecycle management, transferring devices, and account cleanup. AI agents should use this when users ask "remove device X from my account", "unclaim sensor Y so I can sell it", or need to manage device ownership. WARNING: This requires confirmation as it removes access to the device. Remove a Particle IoT device from your account
