Send SMS
Read SMS conversations and send policy-gated messages from your numbers.
OpenPhonex exposes SMS as two scoped capabilities: reading conversation history and sending messages. Sending is gated separately from reading so a read-only agent can follow a thread without ever being able to send.
Read conversations
→ list_conversations(...) # sms:readConnects SMS history to the same customer workspace as calls and numbers.
Send a message
→ send_sms(from_phone_number_id="pn_...", to_phone_number="+1555...", body="...")
# sms:sendSending is policy-gated
send_sms requires the sms:send scope and is subject to the same outbound
policy as calls — blocked categories (telemarketing, mass outreach,
lead generation, and more) fail closed. Evaluate policy and get explicit human
approval before sending live. See Policy & outbound.
