# list_events

Returns total and events, plus scope/dataStatus.

## Purpose

Recent lifecycle events across all merchants (installs, churns, upgrades…), newest first. Call for "what happened recently" or to scan churn events with reasons.

## Credentials and scope

Owner workspace credential. The credential determines tool visibility. For tools with appId, use the HeyCrust app UUID from list_apps; the dashboard app selector does not supply MCP arguments for you.

## Inputs

- `appId`: optional; string or null
- `type`: optional; string; values: installed, reinstalled, uninstalled, subscribed, resubscribed, upgraded, downgraded, unsubscribed, subscription_frozen, subscription_unfrozen, reactivated, deactivated — Filter to one lifecycle event type.
- `limit`: optional; integer; minimum: 1; maximum: 100; default: 25

## Example request

The identifiers and merchant are fictional. Replace them with records returned for your own workspace; this example is schema-checked, not a promise that the fictional record exists.

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_events",
    "arguments": {
      "appId": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",
      "type": "installed",
      "limit": 25
    }
  }
}
```

POST this JSON to `https://heycrust.com/api/mcp` with `Content-Type: application/json` and `Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_CREDENTIAL>`. The tool result normally contains JSON encoded as text in `result.content`; inspect JSON-RPC errors and `result.isError` before using it.

## Result

Returns total and events, plus scope/dataStatus. These are Shopify lifecycle events, not a claim to know every in-app milestone.

## Effects and verification

Reads existing records or definitions. It does not create a payment or send a message. Verify the returned app/merchant identity and source coverage before interpreting the result.

## Troubleshooting

A missing tool can mean that the credential lacks its catalog or required scopes. Invalid arguments are different from unavailable source data or a record outside the workspace. A handler can return a business error even when the argument schema is valid. Read [MCP overview](/docs/mcp) and [Help](/docs/help).
