Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
read_recent_messagesB

Read recent iMessages from your Messages app

search_messagesA

Search for messages by contact name, phone number, or message content

get_conversationA

Get full conversation thread with a specific contact or phone number, optionally filtered by time. Shows text content and indicates attachments.

list_chats_structuredB

List recent chats as structured JSON with chat IDs, handles, last sender, last message preview, group status, and message counts.

get_conversation_by_chat_idA

Get a conversation by iMessage chat_id as structured JSON. Use chat_id from list_chats_structured or find_outreach_followups.

find_outreach_followupsA

Find SMS outreach conversations that need agent review or follow-up. Returns structured candidates with status, risk labels, and evidence snippets.

send_messageA

Send an iMessage or SMS/RCS to a contact (uses AppleScript). Supports iMessage (blue bubble), SMS/RCS (green bubble), or auto-detection with verified fallback when the auto_sms_fallback release flag is enabled. IMPORTANT: Always show the user the message content and recipient before sending, and get explicit confirmation.

detect_message_serviceA

Inspect local Messages history for a recipient and recommend iMessage, SMS/RCS, or auto before sending. This is best-effort because Apple does not expose a direct preflight availability API.

send_message_batchA

Preview or send a reviewed SMS/iMessage batch. Preview returns an approval token. Sending requires the same exact batch, confirm=true, and the token.

list_delivery_failuresA

List recent outgoing messages that Messages marked failed, pending, or potentially recovered by SMS/RCS fallback. Use this to find red Not Delivered bubbles.

list_recent_chatsB

List recent active conversations, sorted by most recent activity

lookup_contactA

Look up a contact name in macOS Contacts to find their phone number or email

react_to_messageA

React to a message with an emoji (❤️, 👍, 👎, 😂, ‼️, ❓). IMPORTANT: Always show the user which message and reaction before sending, and get explicit confirmation.

get_attachmentA

Get an attachment (image, file) from a message. Returns images directly so Claude can view and analyze them. Use message IDs from get_conversation results.
