If you use OpenRush through an AI agent, you do not need to memorize these tool names. Ask normal marketing questions and let your agent choose the right tool. This page is for developers who call the REST API directly. Tool endpoints require authentication. Send Authorization: Bearer <key> or X-API-Key: <key>. Every successful tool response is an Open Fact Envelope. The data shape changes per tool, but the top-level envelope stays the same.
