One form with its fields, availability and number of notification emails.

Formstack API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/formstack.md

`GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/formstack/forms/{form_id}`

Access: read.

Returns the form name, folder and availability, then every field in order with its ID, label, type, whether it is required and whether it carries conditional logic. Availability says whether the form closes on a date or after a number of submissions. It reads the form as it is now, so a field added today is in the list.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `form_id` | string | yes | Form ID from list_forms. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
