Check iMessage channel setup and review access policy. Use when the user asks to configure iMessage, asks "how do I set this up" or "who can reach me," or wants to know why texts aren't reaching the assistant.

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.

## Status and guidance

Read state and give the user a complete picture:

1. **Full Disk Access** — run `ls ~/Library/Messages/chat.db`. If it fails
   with "Operation not permitted", FDA isn't granted. Say: *"Grant Full Disk
   Access to your terminal (or IDE if that's where Claude Code runs): System
   Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access. The server can't read
   chat.db without it."*

2. **Access** — read `~/.claude/channels/imessage/access.json` (missing file
   = defaults: `dmPolicy: "allowlist"`, empty allowlist). Show:
   - DM policy and what it means in one line
   - Allowed senders: count, and list the handles
   - Pending pairings: count, with codes if any (only if policy is `pairing`)

3. **What next** — end with a concrete next step based on state:
   - FDA not granted → the FDA instructions above
   - FDA granted, policy is allowlist → *"Text yourself from any device
