A Public Response can be created by use of the [Public API Builder tool](/workers-tools/workers-tools-menu/public-api-builder.md). This tool (shown below) can be found from the [Workers tools menu](/workers-tools/workers-tools-menu.md) or activated from the [Create MHL Case tool](/workers-tools/quickdrop-shortcuts/create-mhl-case-tool-ctrl+9.md).&#x20;

Step 1: Select the Worker or Worker base class that you want to create the Public Response for.
