Tool use - send text. How to customize the actual text being sent?
The tool "send text" doesn't have a place to customize what text is being sent

Thank you for your question. The documentation does not clearly specify how to customize the actual SMS text sent by the "Send Text" tool. Could you clarify whether you want to set the SMS content dynamically per message, or are you looking to set a static template for all messages?

static template
Modify your assistant prompt to call the 'send_text_tool' and also the message you want to send to the destination number. The assistant will then call the tool and pass the message and destination as parameters to the tool then execute.
