Send invite to sign a document, document group, template, or template group. Supports both field invites (documents with roles/fields) and freeform invites (documents without fields). Document type is auto-detected — omit 'role' for freeform documents. For templates and template groups, automatically creates a document/group first, then sends the invite. Set self_sign=True (and omit orders) to sign the document yourself — the tool resolves the current user's email and populates SendInviteResponse.link with a direct signing link. The 'link' field is also populated when a freeform recipient's email matches the authenticated user's primary email. The entity's state may have changed in the SignNow editor since you last looked — re-read the current state first and build this request from the current roles/fields, not from earlier in the conversation.

Create embedded invite for signing a document, document group, template, or template group. For templates and template groups, automatically creates a document/group first, then creates the embedded invite. The entity's state may have changed in the SignNow editor since you last looked — re-read the current state first and build this request from the current roles/fields, not from earlier in the conversation.

Create embedded sending for managing, editing, or sending invites for a document, document group, template, or template group.

Upload a document to SignNow from a local file path, public URL, or MCP resource attachment. Supported file types: PDF, DOC, DOCX, PNG, JPG, JPEG. Max file size: 40 MB. On success the response includes a 'next_steps' array (prepare invite / send for signing / self-sign) and an 'agent_guidance' string — present those options to the user and wait for them to choose before calling any follow-up tool. NOTE: For URL uploads, the returned filename is locally inferred and may differ from how SignNow names the document.

Send a signing reminder to pending signers on a document or document group.

Cancel all active (pending) signing invites on a document or document group. The entity's state may have changed in the SignNow editor since you last looked — re-read the current state first to confirm the current invite state, not what you saw earlier in the conversation.

Replace the signing recipient on a pending field invite for a document or document group. Finds the pending invite for the current signer and replaces it with a new signer. For documents: deletes the old invite, creates a replacement, and triggers sending. For document groups: updates the pending step(s) with the new signer information. Only field invites are supported — freeform and embedded invites cannot be updated. The entity's state may have changed in the SignNow editor since you last looked — re-read the current state first and build this request from the current roles/recipients, not from earlier in the conversation.

Generate a read-only embedded view link for a document or document group. To find an entity by name, first call list_documents or list_templates to search for it, then pass the returned entity_id here. In MCP Apps-compatible clients the document renders inline — no tab switch needed. In other hosts, the returned view_link is presented as a clickable URL.
