# Catch up on new form messages

Get a short summary of every unread message, then mark them read when you’re done.

## Prompt

> Sum up my unread form messages, one line each. Put anything with a date or an order first. If I name a topic, search for it. After I’ve read them, ask before you mark them as read.

## Steps for your agent

1. Call jetpack-forms/get-status-counts with is_unread true.
2. Call jetpack-forms/get-responses with status "publish", is_unread true and per_page 50. Use search if the user gives a word or name.
3. Write one line per message: who, which form (entry_title), and what they want. Put time-sensitive ones (events, orders, dates) first.
4. Don't paste full email addresses or phone numbers unless the user asks.
5. Ask before marking as read. On yes, call jetpack-forms/update-response with each id and is_unread false.

## Tools

- `jetpack-forms/get-status-counts` (reads only, through `jetpack-remote-abilities`): Count replies in your inbox, spam, and trash.
- `jetpack-forms/get-responses` (reads only, through `jetpack-remote-abilities`): Read and search the replies people sent through your forms.
- `jetpack-forms/update-response` (makes changes, through `jetpack-remote-abilities`): Mark a reply as read, unread, or spam, or move it to the trash.

Run each tool through the WordPress.com MCP server tool named next to it, with `action: "execute"`, `operation` set to the tool name, `wpcom_site` and `params`. Set `user_confirmed: true` only after the user approves a change.
