Get teaming messages MCP tool

Read messages from a teaming conversation: pass teaming_match_id for a match conversation or teaming_interest_id (prime side) for the team-hub conversation. Returns up to 50 messages per page, oldest to newest, including system messages; page backward with `before`. Reading does NOT mark the conversation as read for the user. Only conversation participants can read.

Examples

Pass exactly one of teaming_match_id or teaming_interest_id. Use teaming_match_id for a match conversation, or a PRIME interest's teaming_interest_id for the team-hub conversation that exists once the prime locks in the team. Messages return oldest to newest, up to 50 per page (limit accepts 1–50, default 50). Reading never marks the conversation as read for the user.

Read a match conversation

Resolve the match first, then read its conversation.

Page backward through older messages

While has_older is true, pass the oldest returned created_at as before.

    "teaming_match_id": "<teaming_match_govtribe_id>",

Hide teaming interest

Mark a teaming interest as hidden so it is no longer surfaced in cross-user discovery searches. Pre-existing match records remain visible to both parties; the hidden interest itself is no longer browsable by non-owners. Reverse later with Reopen_Teaming_Interest. Owner-only.
