Key concepts

Network

Your network is everyone you're connected to on the sources you sync: LinkedIn, X, GitHub, Farcaster, and Private Contacts you import.

Network distance

1st and 2nd are where warm paths live, so agents search them by default. Global search may use token credits.

Personal vs team scope

• Personal scope searches your own network.
• Team scope searches your whole team's combined network. In agent tools, pass your team's domain as teamDomainScope (for example, acme.com).

Agents don't assume team scope. Say "our team's network" or name your team when you want it.

Connection path and Signal score

Every result shows its connection path: who knows the person, and on which platform. The Signal score reflects relationship strength, based on connection strength and verification. Higher is stronger.

Intro paths and mutuals

• Intro path: who in your or your team's network can introduce you to someone, ranked by Signal. Starter plans and higher.
• Mutuals: the 1st-degree connections you share with someone. All plans.

Social path

A social path identifies a person on a source, like linkedin/janedoe or profile/abc123. Agents use social paths to look people up, add them to lists, or queue syncs.

Sync

A sync pulls a person's connections into Icebreaker. You can sync your own network, or queue a sync for someone you trust so their connections join your network. Queued doesn't mean done: syncs run in the background, so check status before assuming new results.

Lists, monitors, and feedback

• Lists hold people you care about.
• Monitors email you a daily digest of activity from people on a team list.
• Feedback asks reviewers a Yes or No question about each person on a list.

Roles

On a team, admins and collaborators use the team network. Verified people have a verified link to the company but aren't collaborators yet. See Roles and permissions.

Token credits

Some actions, like Global search, use token credits. Each plan includes a monthly amount. See Plans and limits.
