`record_outreach`

Pack: press-intel · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/press-intel/mcp

Log that an outreach happened. Append-only and deliberately dumb: this pack does not send anything, it records what a human or another system already did, so the response history exists to learn from later. Readable back via get_journalist.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`journalist_id`	number	yes	Journalist contacted.
`direction`	string	yes	”outbound” (we contacted them) or “inbound” (they contacted us).
`channel`	string	no	How, e.g. “email”, “signal”, “twitter_dm”, “in_person”.
`subject`	string	no	Subject line or one-line description of what was sent.
`story_ref`	string	no	Story identifier, so exclude_contacted can use it later.
`outcome`	string	no	What happened, if known: “no_reply”, “replied”, “covered”, “declined”, “bounced”.
`occurred_at`	string	no	ISO timestamp. Defaults to now.
`notes`	string	no	Free text.
