Actions

Operations this integration can perform.

Query Batch Presence

This tool enables querying the presence states of multiple channels in a single api request. the api retrieves the member presence details of the specified channels in parallel.

Query Batch Presence History

This tool enables querying presence history for multiple channels in a single api request. it uses the get endpoint at https://rest.ably.io/presence to retrieve the member presence history details of the specified channels in parallel.

Create Ably Channel

Creates a new channel or retrieves an existing channel in ably. this tool allows you to programmatically create and initialize channels for real-time messaging. since ably creates channels implicitly when first used, this action publishes an empty initialization message to create/activate the channel.

Delete Channel Subscription

This tool allows you to unsubscribe devices or clients from push notifications for specific channels. the operation is asynchronous, so immediate requests after deletion may briefly still return the subscription.

Get Channel Details

This tool retrieves metadata and details for a specific channel in ably. it returns a channeldetails object containing information about the channel's status, occupancy, and other metadata. the endpoint provides visibility into channel activity, including metrics such as connections, presence, publishers, and subscribers, and requires appropriate permissions.

Get Channel History

This tool retrieves the message history for a specified ably channel. it uses the get /channels/{channelid}/messages endpoint to return a paginated list of messages in chronological order, subject to parameters such as 'channelid', 'limit', 'direction', 'start', and 'end'. the tool is useful for auditing, recovering missed messages, analyzing channel activity, and debugging message flows. authentication is required via basic or token authentication.

Get Channel Presence

Tool to obtain the set of members currently present for a channel. Use when you need to check which clients are currently connected and active on a specific Ably channel.

Get Message Versions

Tool to retrieve all historical versions of a specific message from an Ably channel. Use when you need to track message history, including the original message and all subsequent updates or delete operations. Each version includes metadata such as timestamp, action type, and client ID.
