Describe who you are looking for and your assistant gets a short list of people you could be introduced to through people you trust, each with a one-line reason and the shape of the trust path to them. The people in between are not named. It contacts no one and sends no introduction.
Ask it like this
- “Who in my extended network knows about grant writing?”
- “Introduce me to someone who has run a community land trust.”
When another tool fits better
- Who can help me with this?
You have a specific question and want an answer. - Whose judgment do the people I trust rely on for this topic?
You want whose judgment to read, not someone to contact.
Before you use it
- It needs the Suggest people you should meet permission, which UpTrust asks you to approve when you connect.
- It only reads. It changes nothing on UpTrust.
- In Claude, connect

What your assistant is told
Your assistant decides when to use this tool from the title and description UpTrust’s server gives it. Here they are exactly as the server sends them.
- Tool name
who_should_principal_meet- Title
- Who should I meet? (from people I trust)
- Description
Use this when the user wants a person to meet: someone to be introduced to, network with, hire, work with, invite as a guest or speaker, or look for at a conference — "who should I meet about…", "introduce me to someone who…", "who in my network knows…", or an outreach list to draft. It returns up to 10 people the user (the "principal" in the name) could be introduced to through people they trust, ordered by relevance, each with a one-line "why" and an anonymized mutual-trust path ("someone you trust → someone they trust on X"). It contacts no one and sends no introduction. Put who they are looking for in free-text `criteria`; a few words are enough, so call it rather than asking for more detail first. Use find_help instead when the user wants an answer to a question, not a person to meet. Use top_trusted_for_principal when they want whose judgment to read. Intermediary names are intentionally withheld; the user pulls those out of band if they want to make the introduction warm.
