Server tool list (9)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

create_webhookRegister a webhook URL that SMS8 will POST inbound messages and delivery events to. Returns the configured webhook + a sample payload schema the AI can use to scaffold the receiving handler. Pass `enabled: false` to remove the webhook.
get_balanceReturn the user's remaining SMS credits, plan name, expiry date and a one-line human summary. Lightweight, safe to call any time before a bulk send to check whether the account has enough credits left for the job.
get_messagesFetch recent SMS messages on the user's account. Filter by direction (received|sent|all) and limit. Useful for showing inbox state, debugging delivery, or building reply flows.
list_devicesList the user's paired SMS8 devices (phones running the SMS8 Android app). Returns each device's ID, model, primary flag, and enabled status. If the list is empty, the user needs to install + pair the Android app at app.sms8.io/devices.php.
send_otpSend a one-time verification code to a phone number. Stores the code server-side; verify later with verify_otp. 5-minute expiry, 5 attempts, 60-second resend cooldown by default. Hard per-phone cap of 5 OTPs per 24h.
verify_otpVerify a code the user typed against the most recent OTP issued for that phone. Returns { verified: true|false, reason }.
send_smsSend an SMS to one phone number through the user's paired SMS8 device(s). Returns the message ID. Supports per-device + per-SIM routing identical to the SMS8 dashboard.
setup_sms8Start here. Validate the user's SMS8 API key and return everything needed to integrate SMS, OTP, and webhooks into their app — including code samples and dashboard links. Pass api_key once via this tool to set up the session.
wait_for_otpBlock until a one-time-password SMS arrives on the user's paired Android, or the timeout elapses. Returns the extracted numeric code plus the raw SMS body and sender. Use this when an agent has just submitted a form that triggers an OTP and needs to read it back to complete a signup or 2FA flow.
