## What this connects

Vestaboard is a smart messaging display that allows users to send and receive messages through a mechanical split-flap display.

Vendor: https://www.vestaboard.com/developers

## Tools available

**2** tools available. First 2:

- `VESTABOARD_LIST_SUBSCRIPTIONS` — List Subscriptions — Lists all Vestaboard subscriptions accessible with the current credentials. Returns subscription and board information for accessible Vestaboard displays. Use this to discover which boards you can send messages to, then use the subscription ID with the send message action. Example usage: "Show me my Vestaboard subscriptions" or "What Vestaboard boards can I access?"
- `VESTABOARD_SUBSCRIPTION_API_SEND_MESSAGE` — Send Message to Vestaboard — Send a message to a Vestaboard board. This action posts text or character codes to your Vestaboard display. You can send either plain text (which will be formatted automatically) or a 6x22 matrix of character codes for precise control. When using token-based authentication, the message is sent to the board associated with your authentication token. Examples: - "Display 'Hello World' on my Vestaboard" - "Send the message 'Meeting in 5 minutes' to my board"

## Auth

Auth schemes: `API_KEY`.

## How agents use Vestaboard

Inside a Definable workflow, Vestaboard is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Vestaboard** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Vestaboard (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Vestaboard** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Vestaboard (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Vestaboard** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Vestaboard (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Vestaboard call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
