PostNitro

Import Single Image Post and Wait for Output

postnitro_import_image_and_wait

Convenience tool: creates a single-image post (postType IMAGE) from one slide, polls until completion, and returns the final output. May take 15-60 seconds.

Pass slide as a single object, NOT an array, with no slide type. Only heading is required. An infographic layout IS supported: set layoutType 'infographic' + layoutConfig on the slide (same shape as carousel infographics).

templateId, brandId, and responseType are optional if you've saved defaults via postnitro_set_defaults.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`slide`	Yes	The single image slide (one object, not an array). Only 'heading' is required.
`brandId`	No	Brand ID (optional if saved via postnitro_set_defaults)
`templateId`	No	Template ID (optional if saved via postnitro_set_defaults)
`requestorId`	No	Optional custom tracking ID
`responseType`	No	Output format. 'DESIGN' (default) creates the design with no rendered file — fastest, and enough for scheduling/editing. Use 'PDF' or 'PNG' when you need a rendered file back. Optional if saved via postnitro_set_defaults.
`generateImages`	No	Optional AI image generation — include this object to enable it, omit it for no images. When included, `context` is required and you (the agent) must author it from the post. Best-effort: the post still COMPLETES if images fail or aren't permitted (free plan / exhausted AI-image quota); check the GENERATE_IMAGES step via postnitro_check_status. Requires a paid plan, consumes the org's AI-image quota (separate from post credits), and adds latency.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`data`	No	Public URL of the rendered file — a single URL for PDF and MP4, an array of them for PNG (one per page). Omitted for responseType 'DESIGN'.
`name`	No	Design name
`status`	Yes	Job status, e.g. 'COMPLETED'
`success`	Yes	True when the post finished processing
`designId`	No	Design ID — the value to pass as designId when scheduling. Absent only when it could not be resolved from the output.
`mimeType`	No	MIME type of the rendered file. Omitted for responseType 'DESIGN' (no file is rendered).
`warnings`	No	Non-fatal issues worth surfacing to the user (e.g. AI image generation did not complete)
`editorUrl`	Yes	Deep link that opens the design in the PostNitro editor; null when it cannot be resolved
`outputType`	No	Rendered output type: 'pdf', 'png', or 'mp4'. Omitted for responseType 'DESIGN'.
`aspectRatio`	No	Design aspect ratio, e.g. '4:5'
`creditsUsed`	No	Credits consumed by this post
`embedPostId`	Yes	The generation-job ID
`responseType`	Yes	Output format of the post: 'PDF', 'PNG', 'DESIGN', or 'MP4' (video posts)
`usedDefaults`	Yes	The values actually applied — explicit arguments, saved defaults, or an auto-selected sole candidate

A5/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description discloses that it polls until completion, may take 15-60 seconds, and returns the final output. It also mentions optional AI image generation behaviors (best-effort, quota, latency) without contradicting the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured: a concise opening summary, then important clarifications. It avoids redundancy with the schema and keeps the essential usage notes front-loaded. Length is appropriate for the tool's complexity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description, combined with the detailed schema, provides complete information for an agent to decide when to use this tool and what to expect. It covers waiting behavior, default handling, and the single-image scope, while the schema covers all parameter specifics.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description adds valuable clarifications beyond the schema, such as passing slide as a single object (not an array), the infographic layout support, and that templateId/brandId/responseType are optional if defaults are saved. This complements the schema's thorough field descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it creates a single-image post from one slide, polls until completion, and returns the final output. It distinguishes from sibling tools that handle carousels, videos, or non-waiting imports.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly mentions 'single-image post' and 'polls until completion', indicating when to use this instead of the carousel/video or non-waiting variants. It also notes the optional defaults from postnitro_set_defaults and the waiting latency.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4/5.0

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools are clearly separated by verb and noun (generate_carousel vs generate_image vs generate_video, import_* vs generate_*). The generic convenience names like generate_and_wait and import_and_wait are slightly ambiguous, but their descriptions and the _wait/_schedule suffixes make them distinguishable.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools share the postnitro_ prefix and snake_case verb-first convention. A few compound names (generate_and_schedule, import_and_wait) break the strict verb_noun pattern, but the convention is otherwise consistent and predictable.

Tool Count2/5

With 35 tools, the surface exceeds the rubric's 25+ 'too many' threshold. Many entries are convenience wrappers (_wait, _and_schedule) around the same core operations and could be consolidated to reduce overload.

Completeness4/5

The domain is well covered: generation, import, output retrieval, scheduling, brands, social accounts, audio, templates, presets, and defaults. Minor gaps remain (no delete_brand, no upload/connect for audio/social accounts), but those are largely external or non-critical.
