What it does

Whatsapp Openapi Skill is an agent skill from holon-run/uxc. Operate WhatsApp Business Platform Cloud API through UXC with a curated OpenAPI schema, bearer-token auth, and message/profile guardrails.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/usage-patterns.md` and `references/whatsapp-cloud.openapi.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering OpenAPI specifications. It works with WhatsApp and OpenAPI. The repository describes itself as: A unified CLI for discovering and invoking tools across OpenAPI, MCP, GraphQL, gRPC, and JSON-RPC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve OpenAPI specifications

Example prompts

  • “/whatsapp-openapi-skill”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use the fixed link command by default
  2. Inspect operation schema first
  3. Prefer read/setup validation before writes
  4. Execute with key/value or positional JSON

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 562d47c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • graph.facebook.com

    Also links to:

    • developers.facebook.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Whatsapp Openapi Skill loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 445 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

WhatsApp Cloud API Skill

Use this skill to run WhatsApp Business Platform Cloud API operations through uxc + OpenAPI.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0.
  • Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/whatsapp-openapi-skill/references/whatsapp-cloud.openapi.json
  • A Meta app and WhatsApp Business account with Cloud API access.
  • A valid system-user or app access token that can call the target WhatsApp assets.
  • At least one phone_number_id, and for phone number listing, the related waba_id.

Scope

This skill covers a compact Cloud API request/response surface:

  • phone number listing
  • phone number metadata reads
  • business profile reads and updates
  • outbound message sends

This skill does not cover:

  • inbound webhook receiver runtime
  • template lifecycle management
  • embedded signup or broader business onboarding flows
  • media upload/download lifecycle
  • the full WhatsApp Business Platform surface

API Version

This skill is pinned to Graph API v25.0, based on current Meta developer examples at implementation time. Keep the base URL versioned:

  • https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0

If Meta deprecates this version later, the wrapper should be revised in a follow-up update rather than assuming unversioned compatibility.

Authentication

WhatsApp Cloud API uses Authorization: Bearer <access_token>.

Configure one bearer credential and bind it to the versioned Graph API base path:

bash
uxc auth credential set whatsapp-cloud \
  --auth-type bearer \
  --secret-env WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN

uxc auth binding add \
  --id whatsapp-cloud \
  --host graph.facebook.com \
  --path-prefix /v25.0 \
  --scheme https \
  --credential whatsapp-cloud \
  --priority 100

Validate the active mapping when auth looks wrong:

bash
uxc auth binding match https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0

Core Workflow

  1. Use the fixed link command by default:

    • command -v whatsapp-openapi-cli
    • If missing, create it: uxc link whatsapp-openapi-cli https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0 --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/whatsapp-openapi-skill/references/whatsapp-cloud.openapi.json
    • whatsapp-openapi-cli -h
  2. Inspect operation schema first:

    • whatsapp-openapi-cli get:/{waba_id}/phone_numbers -h
    • whatsapp-openapi-cli get:/{phone_number_id}/whatsapp_business_profile -h
    • whatsapp-openapi-cli post:/{phone_number_id}/messages -h
  3. Prefer read/setup validation before writes:

    • whatsapp-openapi-cli get:/{waba_id}/phone_numbers waba_id=123456789012345
    • whatsapp-openapi-cli get:/{phone_number_id} phone_number_id=123456789012345
    • whatsapp-openapi-cli get:/{phone_number_id}/whatsapp_business_profile phone_number_id=123456789012345
  4. Execute with key/value or positional JSON:

    • key/value: whatsapp-openapi-cli get:/{phone_number_id} phone_number_id=123456789012345 fields=display_phone_number,verified_name
    • positional JSON: whatsapp-openapi-cli post:/{phone_number_id}/messages '{"phone_number_id":"123456789012345","messaging_product":"whatsapp","to":"15551234567","type":"text","text":{"body":"Hello from UXC"}}'

Operation Groups

Asset Discovery
  • get:/{waba_id}/phone_numbers
  • get:/{phone_number_id}
Business Profile
  • get:/{phone_number_id}/whatsapp_business_profile
  • post:/{phone_number_id}/whatsapp_business_profile
Messaging
  • post:/{phone_number_id}/messages

Guardrails

  • Keep automation on the JSON output envelope; do not use --text.
  • Parse stable fields first: ok, kind, protocol, data, error.
  • post:/{phone_number_id}/messages is a high-risk write. Require explicit user confirmation before execution.
  • Message delivery is still constrained by WhatsApp conversation rules, template approval rules, recipient opt-in expectations, and account policy state. Auth success does not imply a send is allowed.
  • This v1 skill does not manage media uploads. If you send image or document content, use already hosted URLs or existing asset references as allowed by the platform.
  • Webhook subscription and verification are intentionally documented only. This skill does not configure a receiver runtime.
  • Business profile update fields are partial. Only send the fields you intend to change.
  • whatsapp-openapi-cli <operation> ... is equivalent to uxc https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0 --schema-url <whatsapp_openapi_schema> <operation> ....
