Send Recruiter InMail
Send one LinkedIn Recruiter InMail (outward action): open a NEW recruiter thread via recruiter_id (AEMAA… id; ln_id / sn_id work too), or reply INTO an existing thread via linkedin_conversation_sid (messenger_type=‘recruiter’). Guards, in order: Recruiter seat (422 recruiter_required); live Recruiter session (409 recruiter_reauth_required: only the seat holder renews Recruiter’s 30-day session, by signing in again in the account’s browser; tell the user, do not retry); stamped seat on a reply (422 recruiter_seat_unresolvable); LinkedIn’s one InMail per candidate per 24 h (429 recruiter_inmail_cooldown, cooldown_ends_at: refresh the thread with get_my_latest_linkedin_messages_recruiter if a reply may have landed, else wait). Spends send_inmails and an InMail credit. Sends once per client_reference and place: a repeat is answered, never sent twice; on a 409 read error.context.send_outcome, never resend under a new key. When NOT: basic threads → send_linkedin_message; SN → send_linkedin_sales_nav_message.
Contract:
- MCP tool
send_linkedin_recruiter_message, registry packagemcp.linkedin/linkedin_messages, mountlinkedin.recruiter. - Operation
action, response envelopeaction. - Flags: dangerous: the MCP layer gates it behind a preview/commit token, and the effect cannot be undone through this API; paced: a call spends the
send_inmailssmart-limit bucket of the account it runs on, and calls of one bucket are spaced per account. A short wait is slept by the server; a longer one answers 429rate_limitedwithcontext.retry_after, and the same call succeeds from that moment. Parallel calls on one account queue behind each other.

Access token issued by gtm.service.id. Its access_identity claim carries team_sid, actor_sid and actor_type, and that team scope is authoritative.
Team scope for tokens that do not carry one. Ignored when the token already names a team.
Body
application/json
Request body of send_linkedin_recruiter_message.
LinkedIn account sid (ln_ac_…).
Required string length:
18Pattern:
^ln_ac_InMail subject; 1..200 chars, required on both wires.
Required string length:
1 - 200InMail body; 1..1900 chars, \n line breaks. Sent verbatim: the platform renders no merge fields, a {{first_name}} goes out as those braces.
Required string length:
1 - 1900Existing recruiter thread (messenger_type='recruiter'); provide this OR a recipient. A reply dispatches with the thread's own counterpart as the recipient.
Required string length:
18Pattern:
^ln_cv_The recipient's Recruiter (talent) profile id (AEMAA…), from a recruiter thread's recruiter_id or participants[].recruiter_id. New-thread mode.
Maximum string length:
64A regular-profile URN (ACoAA…) for a new thread; the wire resolves it too.
Maximum string length:
128A Sales Navigator URN (ACwAA…) for a new thread; the wire resolves it too.
Maximum string length:
64Rich-text runs over text. NEW THREAD ONLY: a reply with attributes is refused 422 attributes_not_supported_in_thread.
Maximum array length:
200Show child attributes

Your key for this ONE message (max 255, byte for byte): one key per message, the same key on every repeat of it. The key and its place (the thread, else the person) are one message whatever it says, and a repeat never goes out twice: it answers 200 with the row the first send stored (result.idempotent_replay, result.content_differs when this request says something else) or 409 naming error.context.send_outcome (in_flight, unknown with retry_after and send_decisive_at, or sent; not_sent with blocking_activity_log_sid when another message holds the place). The same key at another place is another message. Without a key the same words to the same place count as a repeat for an hour after they went out. Stored on the row and searchable; check_linkedin_message_sent asks by it.
Maximum string length:
255A person's word that an earlier attempt of THIS message is not on LinkedIn: its activity_log_sid (ln_al_...), from the 409 or check_linkedin_message_sent, given only after someone looked at the conversation. Taken once the attempt can no longer land (before that: 409 send_outcome_unknown, waiting_for may_still_land, retry_after and send_decisive_at that moment): it settles that attempt not_sent and this request goes out. Moot when the attempt is no longer in doubt; another message's sid is 422 not_this_message.
Required string length:
18Pattern:
^ln_al_A person's word that an earlier attempt of THIS message IS on LinkedIn: its activity_log_sid, as for confirmed_not_sent (never both). Taken at once; it settles the attempt sent and sends nothing: the answer is 409 concurrent_send_in_flight with send_outcome sent, or 200 with the row once it is stored. Another message's sid is 422 not_this_message; an attempt already proved not sent is 409 confirmed_sent_contradicts.
Required string length:
18Pattern:
^ln_al_Response
action success envelope.
Available options:
true Available options:
action kebab-case verb; matches the route segment.
