Send teaming message MCP tool

Send a chat message as the user in a teaming conversation: pass teaming_match_id for a match conversation or teaming_interest_id (prime side) for the team-hub conversation. The other party is notified by email and in-app, and before a match is accepted vendor identities may still be masked to them. Messages cannot be edited or deleted by the agent. REQUIRED: show the user the exact message text and obtain their explicit confirmation before calling; content must be the user-approved text verbatim.

Examples

Pass exactly one of teaming_match_id or teaming_interest_id plus content (required, max 5,000 characters). Show the user the exact message text and obtain their explicit confirmation before calling; content must be the user-approved text verbatim. The other party is notified by email and in-app, and before a match is accepted vendor identities may still be masked to them. Sending to a closed conversation returns a structured conversation_closed error code.

Send a message in a match conversation

Resolve the match first, confirm the exact message text with the user, then send.
