Progressive-disclosure usage manual for the WhatsApp Cloud API MCP tool. Read this when you need detail beyond the one-line action descriptions: the 24-hour customer-service window and approved templates, send vs reply vs react, check/read/search, media attachments, contacts/accounts/status basics, the notification transient-hook vs persistent-context split, and external-delivery side-effect caveats. Pulled on demand via action='manual'; you do not need to call it before every send.

WhatsApp MCP — usage manual (progressive disclosure)

This client uses the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API only (no WhatsApp Web bridge).

24-HOUR WINDOW / TEMPLATES

WhatsApp Cloud API allows free-form business replies only inside the 24-hour customer-service window (24h since the user's last message). Outside that window you must send an approved message template, not free text.
templates: list approved message templates. Use a template's name + language.code to send outside the window.

RECIPIENTS

Messages target a recipient by to (or wa_id) — the WhatsApp wa_id. Use ids returned by check/read/contacts.

SEND / REPLY / REACT

send (to/wa_id, plus text, media, or template) starts a message. media is an object with type (image/document/audio/video) and the media fields; template is an object requiring name and language.code.
reply threads to a specific message (message_id, then text/media/ template). message_id is the compound account:wa_id:wamid id.
react adds an emoji reaction to a message (message_id, emoji).
For text sends, preview_url=true enables link previews.

READING: check / read / search

check: list recent conversations.
read: read messages from one conversation (wa_id, or a message_id to resolve it; optional limit). mark_read defaults to true — read marks the conversation read on WhatsApp unless you pass mark_read=false.
search: regex search over message text (query).

CONTACTS / ACCOUNTS / STATUS

contacts: list saved contacts. add_contact/remove_contact manage aliases.
accounts: list configured WhatsApp accounts (redacted).
status: connection/health status for an account.

NOTIFICATIONS: TRANSIENT HOOK vs PERSISTENT CONTEXT

Inbound WhatsApp messages surface to the agent in two _meta lanes:
- _meta.agent_meta.notifications.attention.mcp.whatsapp is a compact high-attention hook only — data.message_ids (compound account:wa_id:wamid ids) and dismiss guidance, never message text or routing context.
- _meta.agent_meta.notifications.persistent.mcp.whatsapp carries the durable context: recent conversation messages (bounded text, both directions), sender/chat routing hooks, and per-message comments for the agent's own outgoing messages, truncated text, and non-text/media messages.
The whatsapp tool remains the source of truth. Neither lane marks anything read; use read/check for exact producer state, especially when a persistent message is truncated or is a media placeholder.
Reply on WhatsApp when the message arrived through WhatsApp (reply with the compound message id, or send), respecting the 24-hour window rule above.
After handling, dismiss the transient hook via notification.dismiss_channel("mcp.whatsapp"); the persistent block is context history, not unread state — do not treat its presence as a pending event.

SIDE EFFECTS & ERROR SURFACING

send, reply, and react deliver to real users — external side effects. Confirm recipient and content before sending unsolicited messages, and respect the 24-hour window rule above.
Actions return {'status': 'ok', ...} on success or {'status': 'error', 'error': <message>, 'error_type': ...} on failure (e.g. missing to, invalid template, outside-window free text). Check the status and surface or act on errors rather than assuming delivery.

lingtai-doctor

Lingtai-AI/lingtai-kernel

Read-only health diagnostics for LingTai agents and bots. Use when an agent appears offline or unreachable, when a machine migration may have left stale MCP/addon command paths, when heartbeat/status/process/notification/log surfaces disagree, or before deciding whether to mail, refresh, CPR, or edit persistent configuration. Includes a bundled doctor.py script for layered local checks without exposing secrets.

Lingtai-AI/lingtai-kernel

Complete catalogue of environment variables consumed by the LingTai kernel, wrapper, bundled MCPs, adapters, tests, and daemon composition surfaces.

system-manual

Lingtai-AI/lingtai-kernel

Second-layer router for LingTai's progressive-disclosure operating manuals. Read this when resident substrate/procedures are too compact and you need the right lower reference. Route here for the expanded substrate/runtime model, lifecycle and `system` tool actions, the init.json composition and preset runtime model route, action/procedure discipline and skill routing, tool-result summarization, SQLite/`log.sqlite` trace inspection and trajectory mining, runtime/kernel update checks and nudges, environment variables, goal notifications, molt/memory questions, MCP/addon ownership, collaboration topology, and resident prompt design. The nested catalog below names each reference and its exact trigger.

lingtai-kernel-dev

Lingtai-AI/lingtai-kernel

Mandatory repository-local development guide for LingTai's Python kernel and runtime. Use this before changing code, architecture documents, tests, packaging, capabilities, adapters, or developer documentation in lingtai-kernel. Routes each task through the exact baseline, the distributed ANATOMY/CONTRACT systems, focused validation, and pull-request safety gates.

file-manual

Lingtai-AI/lingtai-kernel

Operational guide for LingTai's built-in file tools: read, write, edit, glob, and grep. Use when working with local text files, deciding whether to use file tools versus bash, handling large files, avoiding binary/image misuse, or reading non-UTF-8 text via explicit bash/Python/iconv instead of complicating the core read tool. Covers UTF-8 policy, safe write/edit discipline, search workflows, and examples for GBK/Shift-JIS/Latin-1 conversion.

lingtai-kernel-anatomy

Lingtai-AI/lingtai-kernel

Router for LingTai's distributed code navigation system. Use this before navigating, creating, or maintaining kernel ANATOMY.md files. The normative anatomy-of-anatomy now lives at the repository-root ANATOMY.md; this skill explains how an agent enters and descends that graph, how it pairs with the distributed CONTRACT.md interface-definition graph, and what to do when code and navigation disagree.
