- For
- Developers and agent builders needing SMS from a personal number
- Worth noticing
- An agent can be limited to numbers that texted first, a daily message ceiling, or read-only access.
Field notes
The documented API separates actions such as send_sms, draft_sms, wait_for_reply, and get_conversation, with message-state checks and device listing also shown. Each connected app or key can have separate permissions, including read-only access and a daily cap that resets at local midnight. For iPhone, the page distinguishes a Mac relay, Shortcuts, and tap-to-send rather than presenting them as equivalent background automation.
