signal_list_chats

macOS

Purpose

Lists Signal conversations (chats) with last-active timestamps. Reads from the local Signal Desktop database — no network access required. Returns chat IDs, contact names, and type (direct or group). Use the chat_id in subsequent signal_read_messages calls.

Required inputs

No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.

Permissions and confirmation

No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.

• Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
