inboxMy inbox — what's awaiting me. Leads with incoming friend requests I can accept or ignore, then the requests I sent that are still pending, then people interested in my for-sale listings. Use for "check my inbox".
feedGather what's been happening on my Bonzai timeline lately — check-ins, visits, gifts, friend activity, my own notes — as ranked raw material for a briefing. Pass scope:"network" to also fold in what my friends have publicly shared. Narrate the result warmly rather than listing it verbatim.
respond_to_requestAccept or ignore a friend request someone sent me.
interactReach out to a friend with any small gesture, in plain words — "wave at Kim", "leave Sam a note", "send Jeff a coffee". Set `reach`: "proximity" if it only makes sense in person (must be in the same place), "remote" if it carries from anywhere. If the friend has a standing reaction, you'll be asked to resolve it.
