After connecting, ask your AI agent:
"Use HeroHunt to find me 5 senior Go engineers in Berlin and summarise the top 3."
The agent will call people_search with a natural language query, receive structured profile data (name, title, company, location, skills, platform links), and summarize the results.
To get contact info, ask:
"Enrich the results with emails and phone numbers."
The agent will call people_search_paginate with enrich: true.
