whatsapp_list_groups
WhatsApp · macOS
Effect: read (strongest supported action). Status: gated.
Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.
macOS
Purpose
Lists the WhatsApp groups this account is in (from the local store — run whatsapp_sync first if a just-created/joined group is missing). Returns each group's JID (use it as chat_id for whatsapp_read_messages / whatsapp_send_message) and name. ⚠️ Uses Wacli (unofficial WhatsApp client). Accounts may be restricted for ToS violations.
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.
