submit_templates
Submits template drafts to WhatsApp for approval. Call without plan_id for a preview of what would be submitted, then again with the plan_id. Sends nothing to contacts; WhatsApp decides within a few minutes to 24 hours.

#What it does
- Changes data in your account. It does not send messages to contacts.
- Acts on a connected outside system.
- Needs a confirmation step (a preview first).
- Safe to repeat with the same idempotency_key.

plan_id | string | no | From the preview call. Omit it to get a preview. |
Arguments added by the MCP server (see Special arguments)
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
idempotency_key | string | yes | Required. Unique key for this action, for example a UUID. Same key and arguments within 24 hours: first result, nothing done again. up to 255 characters |
#Result
The result has the same content as the REST answer. Lists have at most 50 items per page (default 20); use cursor for the next page.
Errors come back as a tool result with isError: true. The error codes are the ones in Errors.
