    HTTP API for the Puffle GTM platform - Feed and Lead Finder search
    preparation, campaign-backed Outbound execution, Puffle Agent runs, sender
    management, and Unibox reply workflows. Designed for operation by both
    humans and autonomous AI agents. Agents should start at the [Agent
    Playbook](/guides/agent-playbook) which prescribes a workspace-context check
    (`GET /api/context`) and core user journeys with exact call ordering.
