send_platform_message_direct
Send messages directly to platform groups or users, bypassing LLM processing, with support for text, images, files, videos, and audio attachments.
Instructions
Directly send a message chain to a platform group/user (bypass LLM).
This calls AstrBot dashboard endpoint: POST /api/platform/send_message
Notes:
This is for sending to a real platform target (group/user), not WebChat.
Media parts:
If
file_pathis a local path, this tool will upload it to AstrBot first, then send it as an AstrBot-hosted URL.If
file_path/urlis an http(s) URL, it will be forwarded as-is.

Implementation Reference
- The primary handler function for the 'send_platform_message_direct' tool. Processes input parameters, handles local media files by uploading them or using URLs/local paths based on config, normalizes the message chain, and invokes the AstrBotClient to send the message directly to the platform via /api/platform/send_message.
