Good to know
- Nilyo never guesses between two of your accounts: the agent lists them and passes the
account_idyou mean. - Sends, posts, invitations and deletions are separate tools flagged
destructiveHint; agents show the text and wait for approval. - Pacing: LinkedIn and Instagram ~100 actions/day per account, WhatsApp 20 new conversations/day, calls serialized per account.
- Accounts are connected once through a secure link (Hosted Auth) or a WhatsApp/Telegram QR code shown in the conversation; credentials never transit through the agent.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
