}🟢list_alerted_listings(limit, cursor, includeHidden)
List apartments RentReboot already sent to the connected renter, newest first, with saved, hidden, and contacted/toured/applied state. Pass nextCursor to see older alerts (up to the latest 200). Hidden apartments are left out unless includeHidden is true. Links open the listing through RentReboot. Never returns account identifiers or broker contact details.

}🟡update_alerted_listing(listingId, saved, hidden, status)
Change the connected renter's state for one apartment from their alerts: save it, hide it, or mark it contacted, toured, or applied (status "none" clears it). Same as the buttons on the RentReboot dashboard. Use a listingId from list_alerted_listings.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"listingId": {
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64}$"

}
},
"required": [
"listingId"
],
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}🟢get_account
Show the connected renter's plan (free or paid), whether apartment alerts are on or paused, market, alert frequency, and delivery channel, plus a link to manage the account.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}🟢get_search_preferences
Show the connected renter's saved alert search: budget, bedrooms, bathrooms, neighborhoods, move-in date, no-fee and rent-stabilized filters, amenities, subway lines, alert frequency, and channel. Read this before changing the search.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}🟢find_search_neighborhoods(query, limit)
Look up neighborhood names and ids the connected renter can add to their alert search, in their own market. Returns names only, not listings.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"description": "Part of a name, for example \"williams\" or \"upper\"",
"type": "string",
"maxLength": 60
},
"limit": {
"default": 20,
"type": "integer",
"minimum": 1,
"maximum": 50
}
},
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}🔴update_search_preferences(city, maxRent, minRent, bedrooms, includeNearbyBedroomCounts, ...)
Change the connected renter's saved alert search. Send only the fields to change; everything else stays. Saves exactly like the RentReboot preferences page, so its rules apply (for example a search always keeps at least one neighborhood). For a new account, set city together with neighborhoods once; after that the market cannot change here. Confirm the change with the renter first. Weekly recap pauses individual alerts.
