whatsapp_send_file

macOS

Purpose

Sends a file attachment to a WhatsApp chat. The chat_id MUST come from a previous whatsapp_list_chats call — never fabricate IDs. file_path must be an absolute path to a local file. This is a write operation: the first call (confirm=false) returns a preview without sending; set confirm=true to actually send. ⚠️ Uses Wacli (unofficial WhatsApp client). Accounts may be restricted for ToS violations.

Required inputs

• chat_id — Chat ID from whatsapp_list_chats
• file_path — Absolute path to the local file to send

Permissions and confirmation

Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the 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.
