Random Identity Skill

Overview

Random Identity works by generating random names, addresses, and other personal information. It returns the generated identity in a structured format.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as RandomIdentitySkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call

{
  "name": "RandomIdentitySkill",
  "arguments": {}
}

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Argument	Type	Description
`count`OptionalPremium	integer	The number of identities to create default 1 · range 1–100
`includeAvatar`OptionalPremium	boolean	Include an AI-generated face avatar for each identity

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Result

  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,

        },

      }
    ]
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`count`	number	`1`	Total number of identities generated in response
`identities`	array[1]		Array containing all generated random identity objects
`identities.0.name`	string	`Dr. Brent Carter`	Full name of the generated random identity
`identities.0.username`	string	`Fannie_Treutel28`	Username associated with generated identity
`identities.0.email`	string	`[email protected]`	Email address for the generated random identity
`identities.0.phone`	string	`862-207-2982 x6455`	Landline phone number of generated identity
`identities.0.website`	string	`mervin.net`	Website URL associated with generated identity
`identities.0.company`	object	`{…}`	Company information object for generated identity
`identities.0.company.name`Premium	string	`Runolfsson, Gaylord and Christiansen`	Name of the company associated with identity
`identities.0.company.catchPhrase`Premium	string	`Profit-focused didactic algorithm`	Marketing catchphrase for company
`identities.0.company.bs`Premium	string	`brand ubiquitous paradigms`	Business statement or tagline for company
`identities.0.gender`	string	`Male`	Gender of the generated random identity
`identities.0.birthdate`Premium	string	`1978-11-23`	Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format for identity
`identities.0.cell`	string	`1-514-413-1724`	Mobile cell phone number of generated identity
`identities.0.avatar`Premium	string	`https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIResources/faces/Male/40-50/87654321.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=...`	URL to an AI-generated face avatar matching the identity's gender and age

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

Status	What it means
`400` / `422`	The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
`401`	The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
`403`	Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
`404`	This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
`429`	Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Use cases

Staging Database Seeding: Engineers populating local environments generate synthetic user records to test onboarding flows without exposing real customer contact records.
Prototype Design Mockups: When previewing client dashboards, UX designers fill directory tables with mock names, usernames, and websites instead of repetitive placeholder text.
QA Form Validation: To stress-test registration portals, automated testing suites submit generated email addresses and cell numbers to verify format checks and account creation.
Privacy-Compliant Demos: Sales engineers replace live customer records with synthetic identities during product walkthroughs to avoid revealing personal data on recorded calls.
