Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Signalpipe Tools (20)

signalpipe_get_missions

List pending leads awaiting review — score, role, channel, snippet, draft. Lean by default; opt into `include_context=true` only when drafting.

signalpipe_draft_mission

Get the drafting payload for a single mission so the host LLM can write the reply itself (BYOK path)

signalpipe_upload_draft

Upload a host-LLM-written draft to a mission

signalpipe_approve_mission

Approve a lead and queue it for outreach

signalpipe_reject_mission

Reject a lead with a reason — teaches the per-station RL loop (penalty size adapts to the reason; demotes one noisy feed without dragging the rest of the product down). **Don't** use this when the post is just gone — use `signalpipe_delete_mission` instead.
