Use Toolmu search-companies-by-prompt-hunter to find company candidates from my ordinary-language requirements. Reuse a working Toolmu connection or follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md to connect. Check current inputs, availability and credit ceiling, keeping all requests within my authorization and total budget. Ask what companies I want to find if unclear. Put the actual brief into the supported query internally; start with up to five companies on the first page for this example. Never ask me to fill request fields or an offset. Compare Hunter’s returned interpreted filters with my brief and explicitly flag requirements that were omitted, changed or not supported. Present actual names and websites with personal and general-purpose email counts as source statistics, not actual addresses or employee counts. Manage supported pagination only if I ask for more, with cumulative budget checks. Treat companies as candidates rather than verified competitors or qualified buyers. Do not reveal email addresses or contact anyone automatically.

Task:
Use Hunter to find companies matching [company requirements, such as industry and location]. Start with up to 5 companies and show the conditions used, company names and websites, and recorded email counts.

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Company candidates`result.data`	`array`	Company entries returned for this page. These are source search matches to inspect, not an independently qualified company list.
Company name`result.data[].organization`	`string`	Organization name reported by Hunter for a returned company.
Company domain`result.data[].domain`	`string`	Domain associated with the returned company in Hunter’s record; use it to identify and review the candidate.
Email counts`result.data[].emails_count`	`object`	Source counts of indexed addresses for the company domain, with total, personal and generic categories. They do not supply the addresses or measure employee headcount.
Total email count`result.data[].emails_count.total`	`number`	Total address count reported for the company domain in Hunter’s index. It does not establish live deliverability or complete contact coverage.
Personal email count`result.data[].emails_count.personal`	`number`	Count of addresses classified as personal by the source. It is an address category, not a count of unique people.
Generic email count`result.data[].emails_count.generic`	`number`	Count of addresses classified as generic by the source, such as shared role addresses.
Interpreted search filters`result.meta.filters`	`object`	Actual structured filters applied after Hunter interprets the brief. A keyword filter should not be presented as a verified industry classification.

Additional notes

A company-search brief can describe where a business is based and what it does. Hunter translates that language into search filters. For a request such as technology companies in Europe, inspect whether the resulting filters describe headquarters, keywords or an industry category before using the companies in a shortlist.

The returned filters explain how Hunter interpreted the request. Broad terms can become keyword matches rather than the exact business classification you intended. Compare those conditions with your essential requirements, and refine the brief when they differ.

Use limit and offset to request a particular page. Repeating a natural-language query may produce a different interpretation, so check the filters on each response. Reusing fixed structured filters belongs to a separate search workflow; this Tool accepts a query, limit and offset. Inspect the current input contract before execution. Current Tool input contract
