Let's Clarify Skill

Human-in-the-Loop infrastructure. Use when your workflow needs structured human input — approvals, decisions, data collection — before proceeding.

Base URL: https://letsclarify.ai Auth: Authorization: Bearer lc_... on all API calls.

For full curl examples, detailed response payloads, MCP tool descriptions, all polling strategies, embed widget details, and advanced prefill rules, see REFERENCE.md.

MCP Server (Preferred)

MCP-compatible agents should use the remote MCP endpoint instead of raw REST calls.

Endpoint: https://letsclarify.ai/mcp

Config: { "mcpServers": { "letsclarify": { "url": "https://letsclarify.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lc_..." } } } }

Tools: register (no auth), create_form, add_recipients, get_summary, get_results, delete_form (all require auth).

REST API Reference

Register / Delete API Key

POST /api/v1/register with {"name": "...", "email": "..."} → {"api_key": "lc_...", "key_prefix": "lc_xxxxx"}. Store securely, shown only once.

DELETE /api/v1/register with auth header → {"deleted": true}.

Create Form

POST /api/v1/forms (auth required)

{
  "title": "Approve Budget Increase",
  "context_markdown": "## Q3 Budget\nPlease review the proposed 15% increase.",
  "recipient_count": 3,
  "retention_days": 7,
  "webhook_url": "https://example.com/webhook",
  "schema": [
    {"id": "decision", "type": "radio", "label": "Your decision", "required": true,
     "options": [{"value": "approve", "label": "Approve"}, {"value": "reject", "label": "Reject"}]},
    {"id": "notes", "type": "textarea", "label": "Additional notes", "required": false}
  ]
}

Optional params: theme_color (hex, e.g. #1a2b3c). recipient_count accepts 1–1,000.

Response: form_token, delete_token, recipients (array of UUIDs), base_url_template, poll_url, summary_url, delete_url.

Recipient URLs: https://letsclarify.ai/f/{form_token}/{recipient_uuid} — distribute via email, Slack, WhatsApp, etc.

Client-provided UUIDs/prefill: Instead of recipient_count, pass "recipients": [{"uuid": "...", "prefill": {"field_id": "value"}}, {}]. UUIDs must be valid v4, prefill max 10KB. Both recipients array and recipient_count can be combined (count >= array length).

Add Recipients

POST /api/v1/forms/{form_token}/recipients with {"count": 5} or {"recipients": [...]}. Max 1,000/request, 10,000/form. Same UUID/prefill rules as creation.

Poll Summary

GET /api/v1/forms/{form_token}/summary → {expired, known_total, submitted_total, pending_total, updated_at_max}.

Poll Results

GET /api/v1/forms/{form_token}/results

Query params: limit, status (submitted/pending), cursor (pagination), include_files=1 (base64), updated_since (ISO 8601).

Response: {expired, next_cursor, server_time, results: [{recipient_uuid, status, submitted_at, updated_at, response_json, files}]}.

Efficient polling: First paginate with cursor until next_cursor is null, store server_time. Then poll with updated_since={server_time}.

Delete Form

DELETE /api/v1/forms/{form_token} with X-Delete-Token: {delete_token} → {"deleted": true}. Permanently removes form, submissions, and files.

Webhooks

If webhook_url (HTTPS) is set, a POST is sent per submission with {form_token, recipient_uuid, submitted_at, response_json}. Retries 3× with backoff on 5xx/network errors. Non-blocking.

Waiting for Results

After creating a form and sending URLs, set up async polling. Do NOT assume immediate responses.

Recommended: Cron polling

openclaw cron add --name "poll-lc-{form_token}" --every 10m \
  --message "Check Let's Clarify form {form_token}: get_summary to see if submitted_total == known_total. If all responded, get_results and summarize, then remove this cron. If expired, fetch what exists and clean up."

One-shot: openclaw cron add --name "check-lc-{form_token}" --at +1h --delete-after-run --message "Check form {form_token} results and report status."

Workflow: Create form → send URLs → cron polls summary → all responded or expired → fetch results → delete cron → optionally delete form.

Embed Widget

Embed forms directly in any page instead of linking to the hosted URL:

<script src="https://letsclarify.ai/embed.js"></script>
<div data-letsclarify-form="{form_token}" data-letsclarify-recipient="{recipient_uuid}"></div>

Auto-renders all field types, handles validation/submission, injects its own CSS.

Schema Field Types

Validation (optional): min_length/max_length, pattern (regex) for text/textarea. min_items/max_items for checkbox_group. File config (optional): accept (MIME/extensions), max_size_mb (1-10), max_files (1-10).

Rate Limits

On 429: read Retry-After header, exponential backoff (Retry-After × 2^attempt), max 5 retries.

Data Retention

Default 30 days, max 365 days. Expired forms return expired: true. Use delete endpoint for immediate cleanup.
