Core Workflows

1. Send a Message to a Room or Person

Post plain text, markdown, file attachments, or Adaptive Cards to any Webex room or directly to a person.

Tool: WEBEX_MESSAGING_CREATE_MESSAGE

• toPersonEmail -- send a private 1:1 message instead (mutually exclusive with roomId)
• text -- plain text content (max 7439 bytes)
• markdown -- markdown-formatted content (takes precedence over text)
• files -- list of public URLs for file attachments (one file per message)
• attachments -- Adaptive Card JSON (one card per message)
• parentId -- reply to a specific message as a threaded response

Example prompt:

"Send a markdown message to room Y2lz... saying Deploy completed with a link to the release notes"

2. List and Discover Rooms

Browse all rooms you belong to, filtered by type, team, or sorted by activity.

Follow-up with WEBEX_MESSAGING_GET_ROOM_DETAILS to get full metadata for a specific room including title, type, lock status, creator, and timestamps.
