get_conversation
Retrieve LinkedIn message history with a person; if not yet synced, initiates synchronization and returns the messages once ready.
Instructions
Retrieve a conversation with a LinkedIn person via standard LinkedIn messaging. Returns the conversation immediately if it has already been synced. If the conversation has not been synced yet, this tool starts a syncConversation workflow and returns its ack ({status, workflowId, operationName: "syncConversation", message}); the client should call get_workflow_result with that workflowId until completion, then call get_conversation again to read the synced messages.
Linked API actions are queued into a cloud-browser workflow and may take several minutes. The server returns immediately after starting the workflow with {status: 'pending'|'running', pendingReason, workflowId, operationName, message}. To retrieve the final result, call get_workflow_result with the returned workflowId and operationName — it will long-poll until completion or the request budget elapses, then return either the final result or another in-progress snapshot. Do not retry the original tool while a workflow is still running; that creates duplicate queued work.
A pending workflow carries pendingReason: 'queued' means it is waiting its turn behind other work on the same account and will start within minutes. 'outsideWorkingHours' means the account has configured working hours and the workflow is parked until they reopen — possibly the next working day. In that case get_workflow_result returns immediately instead of polling, message states when the window opens, and you should report that to the user rather than looping.
