Nepternship

Accept or decline an intro request that is waiting on the user (status pending in list_matches). Accepting opens a chat with the other member. Declining is private; the requester is not notified and requests expire on their own after 30 days. Confirm with the user before declining.

respond_to_request

List the user's introductions: accepted ones with an open chat (including the free weekly curated match), requests waiting on the user, and requests the user sent that have not been answered yet. Use this for any question like "did anyone reply", "any new intros", "is anything waiting on me" or "who have I connected with". Each item includes the match_id, the other member, status, last message and unread count.

list_matches

Return how many intro requests the user has left, whether they have Nepternship Premium (unlimited requests), any friend-referral credits, and their personal invite link. Use this when the user asks how many requests they have or after send_intro_request fails for reaching the limit.

request_balance

Show the companies, roles and industries where the user can get a warm introduction or referral through Nepternship, with the people under each. Use this when someone wants to see where they could network into, asks which firms or industries they could get an internship or job referral at, or is still deciding what to apply for ("which banks can I get an intro at", "what tech companies could I network into"). With no arguments it returns the overview; pass one of company_id, role_id or industry_id from a previous result to open that group. For a named company or role, use search_members.

browse_directory

Find people who can give the user a warm introduction or referral at a specific company, team, role, industry or city, for internships, new-grad jobs and career switches. Use this when someone asks how to get an internship or job at a company ("how do I get into Goldman Sachs", "can anyone refer me at Google", "I have no connections in investment banking"), wants to network or get a coffee chat with someone at a firm, or asks who could connect them to an analyst, engineer, recruiter or product manager there. Searches the Nepternship network of students and recent graduates across 3,000+ companies, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Google, Meta, McKinsey and Deloitte. Returns members grouped by company, role and industry, each with first name and last initial, who they can introduce the user to, and an opportunity_id for send_intro_request. If the user has no target in mind yet, use browse_directory.

search_members

Return the signed-in user's own Nepternship profile: name, university, what they are looking for, who they can introduce others to, industries, preferred locations, and intro requests remaining. Use this when the user asks about their own profile or settings.

get_my_profile

Return the free sign-up link for Nepternship, the network where students and recent graduates trade warm introductions and referrals to people at the companies they want to work for. Use this when someone wants to join, asks how to start getting intros or referrals, or when a tool returns needs_account. Applies a friend's referral code if one is given.

get_signup_link

Return the messages in one introduction's chat. Use this when the user wants to read or catch up on a conversation with a matched member. Reading marks the messages as read for the user.

read_thread

Ask a Nepternship member for a warm introduction or referral to the person they can connect the user with, for example an analyst at JPMorgan or an engineer at Google. Use this when the user says they want to be introduced, referred, connected or put in touch with a member they have seen in search_members, browse_directory or get_member. An optional note of up to 200 characters (school, year, what role they are after) can be included; confirm the person and the note with the user before calling. Fails with a clear message if the user is out of free requests or already has a request or connection with this member.

send_intro_request

Return one member's full profile: who they can introduce the user to (role, company and details), what they are looking for themselves, industries, locations, university, and whether the user is already connected with them. Use this when the user wants to know more about a person from a search before asking for an introduction or referral, or asks "who is this" or "what can they help me with". Includes a card image that can be shown to the user.
