Read messages by contact or group.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Read recent messages using imessage-tools. ``` imessage-tools read $ARGUMENTS ``` The CLI accepts: - `read` — last 20 messages (all contacts) - `read <limit>` — last N messages - `read <limit> <contact>` — last N messages from a specific phone/email - `read --group "Group Name"` — read messages from a named group chat - `read --group "Group Name" <limit>` — read N messages from a group If the user provides a contact name instead of a number, first resolve it using the contacts command. Examples: - `/imessage-read` — show last 20 messages - `/imessage-read 5` — show last 5 messages - `/imessage-read 10 +15551234567` — last 10 from a number - `/imessage-read --group "Work Chat"` — read group chat - `/imessage-read --group "Family" 50` — last 50 from Family group Show the output to the user.

How to install
mdr add benelser/imessage-tools/imessage-read@sha256:d96ea63449d0da9eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260331.eba3989, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
