# Channels tools

> MCP tools for channels: what each does, the key level it needs, the operation it runs and its input schema. Part of the MISSIN public API: call it with an API…

An operation tool runs one API operation and takes its variables, so the operation's page says what each accepts. Two differences: the server fills in `workspaceId` and `updatedBy`, and `campaignId`, `partnerId`, `formId`, `discountCodeId`, `socialNetworkId`, `waitlistId`, `incentiveId`, `channelId` also take the record's name. A task tool chains several operations and is described here in full. Every tool's input schema, keyed by tool name: [channels.schema.json](https://developer.missin.co.uk/mcp/tools/channels.schema.json).
