How a request travels Illustration, not a screenshot

  1. 1 · You ask

    “Find Airmail contacts about [a topic].”

  2. 2 · Claude calls

    search_contacts

    Finds contacts that match what you ask for

  3. 3 · Runs locally

    Your computer

    Through the Claude desktop app

  4. 4 · Answer

    Reply in the chat

    Write tools can be set to ask you first

The prompt is our example and the tool is one from Airmail’s list. Claude chooses tools itself, so real calls can differ.
