What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• gavel_list_workflows

  List the names of all Gavel workflows on the account. API: GET /api/playground?folder=questions.

• gavel_get_workflow_variables

  Get the variable schema of one workflow: each variable name, data type, input type, label, options and whether it is required. Use it to learn what data gavel_create_session accepts. API: GET /officeaddin?pgtypes= .yml.

• gavel_create_session

  WRITE: create a new session of a workflow with pre-filled variables. It does not send or sign anything. Each call creates one more session. Returns session_id and a continuation_url. If all variables are given, the URL opens the document download page; else the user answers only

• gavel_list_session_documents

  List the documents of a completed workflow session: name, format (docx or pdf), type, source template and download URL. This tool returns metadata only. The download URL needs the X-Api-Key header. API: GET /api/documate/v1/data-manager/workflows/{name}/session/{id}/documents.
