What can agents actually do with MessageBird?
Messages and calls are where work actually gets decided. The MessageBird connector is one of 205 executable connectors and gives agents 3 read-only tools, with the credential held in the vault and every call receipted.
The MessageBird tool list, exactly as agents see it
balance— Get the MessageBird account balance (payment model, credit type and remaining amount)list_messages— List recent MessageBird SMS messages (direction, originator, body and per-message recipient counts)list_contacts— List MessageBird contacts (phone number, name and timestamps)
Every tool above is read-only. Write surfaces ship only after live testing, and always behind approval gates.
What the MessageBird connector needs
You provide access key from your MessageBird account; Quox sends it as an API key sent as a header. The credential is stored encrypted in the vault and resolved just-in-time, so agents use it without ever seeing it.
Where to get it: MessageBird's own API documentation ↗ covers creating and scoping the credential.
How proven is this?
This connector was blind shape-proven against the real MessageBird API: every endpoint it declares answered measurably differently from a deliberately bogus control request, without any account or credential involved. It is Beta: proven against the live API surface, not yet run with a real credential.
