Description

Search costs no credits, though each request counts toward your request limits. Filter values such as industries, departments and management levels must be ZoomInfo's own: resolve them first with the `lookup` MCP tool, `gtm lookup` or the Lookup Data endpoint. Each result flags whether ZoomInfo holds an email, direct phone or mobile phone; enrich the people you keep to get them.
