Tools

Manage Tool

Create, update, retrieve, or delete tools that assistants can invoke during conversations. Configure function and direct API request tools with the typed fields, or use configuration for other current Vapi tool types such as endCall, handoff, and transferCall. Use list_tools to discover reusable tool IDs.

Manage Campaign

Create, update, retrieve, cancel, or delete outbound call campaigns. Campaigns use an assistant or squad and a list of customer numbers. Use list_campaigns to discover existing campaigns.

Get Call Transcript

Retrieve the full transcript, recording URL, analysis summary, and conversation messages for a specific call. Use this to access post-call artifacts after a call has ended.

Manage Workflow

DEPRECATED — use manage_assistant or manage_squad instead. Vapi retired Workflows on August 18, 2026. This tool is retained for compatibility and no longer performs operations.
