fields_search_fields
Search for fields by name or key across entity types like deals, persons, and organizations to find custom field definitions and metadata.
Instructions
Search for fields by name or key across entity types.
Searches field definitions by matching against field names (case-insensitive) or field keys. Useful for finding specific custom fields when you don't know the exact field ID.
Search is performed across:
Field names (e.g., "Customer Type", "Lead Source")
Field keys (e.g., "9dc80c50d78a...")
Results include:
Entity type the field belongs to
Field ID, key, and name
Field type and validation info
All other field metadata
Cached for 15 minutes as field definitions rarely change.
Common use cases:
Find field by name: { "query": "customer" }
Find field by partial key: { "query": "9dc80c" }
Search in specific entity: { "query": "status", "entity_type": "deal" }
Find all custom fields containing "date"
