whatsapp_read_poll

WhatsApp · macOS · Windows

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

Reads WhatsApp poll results. With poll_id: that poll's question, options and vote counts; without it: recent polls in the chat. chat_id MUST come from whatsapp_list_chats / whatsapp_list_groups. IMPORTANT — the counts are INDICATIVE, not definitive: WhatsApp poll votes are end-to-end encrypted and a vote can be silently missing if this device was unlinked when it arrived. The response includes a completeness_caveat and, for group polls, the group's participant count as the denominator. NEVER report a poll result as final without the caveat — verify the firm tally in the WhatsApp app.

Required inputs

chat_id — Chat/group JID from whatsapp_list_chats/whatsapp_list_groups
