Outbound partners
Read as MarkdownChoose an action to read its inputs, results, and usage guidance. Your connection determines which tools are available to you.
Outbound partners are recipients you configure for future Deals. Their package controls the application and delivery setup.
Set up a recipient
Read outbound_channels.get to inspect the current setup. Use outbound_channels.create to create a custom recipient and draft package together. Creating the draft does not publish it, connect another Portal, or submit a Deal. Review its Deal Package before publishing.
Connected recipients and custom recipients with attributed Deals cannot be deleted through these tools. Deleting an unused custom recipient keeps its reusable package.
Control matchmaking independently of publication
Both outbound_channels.list and outbound_channels.get return the sender preference is_matchmaking_enabled, actual eligibility is_matchmaking_available, and matchmaking_unavailable_reason. Eligibility requires inclusion plus published usable setup; it does not guarantee a match for a specific business. The reason is disabled, unpublished, or setup_incomplete, and is null when eligible. Disabled takes precedence when more than one gate blocks participation.
The update pair requires the existing opt-in Outbound channels: administration MCP toolset. A toolset grant does not widen Portal permissions.
Use the existing outbound_channels.review_update with changes: { is_matchmaking_enabled: false }, then outbound_channels.update with its unchanged review token to disable recommendations. Use true to re-enable; omitted fields remain unchanged. Publication, existing Deals, and manual Deal creation stay available when setup is ready. Enabling an unpublished partner does not publish it or make it eligible.
Custom and connected partners support this sender-owned preference. Connected partners do not permit identity, contact, or package changes through this update. Sender Owners, Members, Support, and staff may change matchmaking; custom setup fields still require Owner, Support, or staff. Read editable_fields and revision from the detail before proposing changes. Updates return the updated channel summary; read the detail again for the current revision and capabilities.
Review changes before applying them
For recipient updates, sharing, and deletion, use the action's review_* tool, explain the effects, and obtain a second explicit confirmation before sending user_confirmed: true with the unchanged review token. Reviews expire after ten minutes or when the reviewed state changes. Confirmation does not grant additional Portal permissions.
Reuse client_request_id only for an identical retry.
