Monitor Team Discussions

Need to know what people are talking about? You use `list_channels(workspace_id)` to get a full list of available channels within any Twist workspace. This lets your agent scope its actions and find the right team conversation instantly. If you need to track down specific conversations, calling `list_threads(channel_id)` shows every single discussion thread inside that channel. It’s how your Claude Desktop client keeps tabs on the whole group chat history.

Send and Edit DMs

Talking one-on-one? You can send a private message directly using `send_direct_message(conversation_id, content)`. It's quick, simple communication for when you don't need the whole group involved. Got an error or wrong info in a DM? No sweat. Your agent modifies it with `update_direct_message(message_id)`, so that message always stays accurate.

Manage Thread Content

If a discussion needs a fresh start, you can create one using `create_thread(channel_id, title, initial_content)`. This starts an asynchronous conversation where the team can jump in. Did someone mess up the thread summary? You fix it by calling `update_thread(thread_id)`, which changes either the title or the core content of that existing discussion.
