Writer ACTION
Get Application
Get a single no-code application (agent) by its application id, including its input schema — the
inputs array, where each entry's id is an input field name that Run Application must supply a value for (it is NOT the application's id). Use List Applications first to find the application's id, then call this before Run Application so you know the input field ids (names) the agent expects. Example: call with applicationId="3f9c..." -> returns { id, name, type, status, inputs: [{ id, name, ... }], created_at, updated_at }, where each inputs[].id is an input field name such as "topic".

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Writer account once, then configure and run Get Application from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "writer-get-application",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
writer: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
applicationId: "Application ID",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:

applicationId: "Application ID",
},
})SCHEMA
Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
applicationId Application ID | string | The UUID of a no-code application (agent). Discover ids with List Applications; inspect an agent's required input schema with Get Application before running it. Required |
REFERENCE
Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
