Implementation Reference

  • Handler for the 'send_reaction' tool in the main switch statement within CallToolRequestSchema handler. Parses input using SendReactionSchema and calls api.sendMessageReaction.
    case 'send_reaction': {
      const params = SendReactionSchema.parse(args);
      result = await api.sendMessageReaction(
        params.recipientId,
        params.messageId,
        params.reaction
      );
      break;
    }
  • Zod schema for validating input parameters of the send_reaction tool: recipientId, messageId, reaction.
    const SendReactionSchema = z.object({
      recipientId: z.string(),
      messageId: z.string(),
      reaction: z.string()
    });
  • src/index.ts:120-132 (registration)
    Tool registration in the ListToolsRequestSchema response, defining name, description, and inputSchema matching the Zod schema.
    {
      name: 'send_reaction',
      description: 'Send a reaction to a message on Instagram',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          recipientId: { type: 'string', description: 'The user ID' },
          messageId: { type: 'string', description: 'The message ID to react to' },
          reaction: { type: 'string', description: 'Reaction type (e.g., love, like, haha, wow, sad, angry)' }
        },
        required: ['recipientId', 'messageId', 'reaction']
      }
    },
  • Core helper function that performs the actual API call to send a reaction to a message via Facebook Graph API.
    export async function sendMessageReaction(
      recipientId: string,
      messageId: string,
      reaction: string
    ): Promise<any> {
      return makeApiCall({
        method: 'POST',
        endpoint: `/me/messages`,
        data: {
          recipient: { id: recipientId },
          sender_action: 'react',
          payload: {
            message_id: messageId,
            reaction
          }
        }
      });
    }
