thunderbird_search_contacts

Thunderbird · macOS · Windows

Effect: read (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Searches Thunderbird's address books on this computer (the personal one and the collected addresses) for `query` in name, company, addresses and phone numbers, ignoring case and accents. Returns each contact's name, addresses, phones and which book it is in.

Required inputs

query — A name, an address or a phone number, or part of one.

Permissions and confirmation

No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.

Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
