Representative actions
- 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.
- 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.
