StreamElements API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/streamelements.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/streamelements/commands`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates a custom command in your channel. Variables such as $(user) work in the reply, as in the dashboard. The command answers in your chat as soon as it is on, so viewers see it. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `trigger` | string | yes | Command name with the prefix, e.g. '!discord'. |
| `reply` | string | yes | Text the bot answers with. Variables like $(user) work. |
| `level` | enum | no | Everyone, Subscriber, Regular, VIP, Moderator or Super Moderator. Default: Everyone. |
| `response_type` | enum | no | say, mention, reply or whisper. Default: say. |
| `cooldown_global` | integer | no | Seconds between any two uses. |
| `cooldown_user` | integer | no | Seconds the same viewer must wait. |
| `cost` | integer | no | Loyalty points charged per use. Needs the Loyalty System. |

## 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.
