Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
create_contactAdd a contactAdds a card to an address book. The UID and the file name are generated here. The vCard version follows what the address book accepts — 3.0 unless it says otherwise, because that is what phones and desktop clients read completely.
create_groupCreate a contact groupCreates a group card and puts the named contacts in it. The convention follows whatever groups the address book already uses, because a group written the other way is invisible in the client the person is actually looking at.
delete_contactDelete a contactcan change or delete dataRemoves a card. Cannot be undone — a CardDAV server has no trash and no version history. Guarded by the card’s ETag, so a card changed since it was read is refused rather than deleted blind.
delete_groupDelete a contact groupcan change or delete dataRemoves a group card. The contacts that were in it are not touched — only the grouping goes. Cannot be undone.
export_contactsExport contacts as vCard textread-onlyThe raw vCard text of one or more contacts, exactly as stored. The only way to see a property this server does not model, and the only way to take a backup of an address book from here.
get_contactRead one contact in fullread-onlyThe complete card behind an id: every address, every phone number, the note, the birthday, and the names of any properties this server does not model. The free text comes back inside a fence marking it as somebody else’s writing.
get_contact_photoFetch a contact’s photoread-onlyReturns the photo stored on a card as an image. Only a photo embedded in the card itself — one stored as a link is reported by get_contact and never fetched, because that address was chosen by whoever wrote the card.
get_groupRead one group, with its membersread-onlyA group card and the contacts in it, resolved to names and ids where the members live in the same address book. A member this server cannot resolve is still reported, as the reference the card holds.
get_server_infoWhat the connected CardDAV server can doread-onlyReports the DAV compliance tokens, which vCard versions each address book accepts, and whether the optional features this server relies on actually work here. The first thing to run when something behaves differently than expected — CardDAV implementations differ more than the specification suggests.
list_address_booksList the address booksread-onlyEvery address book this server may use, with the id to pass to the other tools. Always asks the server rather than answering from a cache — being current is this tool’s whole job.
list_changesWhat changed in an address bookread-onlyCards created, changed or deleted since a sync token, using RFC 6578. Call it once without a token to get the current token, then again later with it. Not every server implements this — get_server_info reports whether this one does.
list_contactsList contactsread-onlyContacts in one or more address books, as short summaries: name, organisation, addresses and phone numbers, and whether a photo is present. Only the summary properties are fetched, so this stays cheap on a large address book — get_contact returns the whole card.
list_groupsList contact groupsread-onlyGroups in one or more address books, with how many members each has. The members themselves are not resolved here — that is one extra request per book, and get_group is where a caller has said they want the names.
move_contactMove a contact to another address bookcan change or delete dataCopies a card into another address book and removes it from the first. The id changes, because an id names a card in a collection. There is no transaction behind this: the copy is verified before the original is removed.
search_contactsFind contactsread-onlyFinds contacts whose name, organisation, email address, phone number or note contains a term. One request per address book — CardDAV combines the fields with OR, unlike CalDAV — and the result is checked again here, because some servers filter only partially.

update_contactChange a contactcan change or delete dataChanges the fields named and leaves everything else exactly as it was — including properties this server does not model. Guarded by the card’s ETag, so a change made elsewhere in the meantime is refused rather than overwritten. A CardDAV server keeps no version history, so a person is asked first.
update_groupRename a group or change who is in itcan change or delete dataChanges a group’s name or note, and adds or removes members. Removing a member removes the grouping only — the contact itself is untouched. A CardDAV server keeps no version history, so a person is asked first.
