Get Recurring Post

get_recurring_post
Read-only

Get one recurring post (series) by id: status, pauseReason and lastError when paused, the schedule (frequency, interval, weekdays, startsAt, timezone, endsOn, maxOccurrences), nextOccurrenceAt (the next slot not yet created as a post; absent once ENDED), occurrenceCount (posts created so far), and the content and platforms each occurrence copies. Ids outside the workspace (the current one unless workspaceId names another) return "Recurring post not found". Ids come from list_recurring_posts, the recurringPostId returned by create_post, or the recurringPostId on a post from get_post or list_posts.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesRecurring post ID from list_recurring_posts, create_post, or a post's recurringPostId
workspaceIdNoWorkspace to act in: an id from list_workspaces. Omit to act in the workspace list_workspaces marks current. Use the same workspaceId for every call about the same workspace, since ids from one workspace (accounts, posts, uploads) do not exist in another

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultNoThe recurring post: id, userId, status, pauseReason, lastError, frequency, interval, weekdays, startsAt, timezone, endsOn, maxOccurrences, nextOccurrenceAt, occurrenceCount, contentType, text, mediaUrls, mediaAltTexts, thumbnailUrl, platformTypes, platforms, createdAt, and updatedAt.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/non-destructive, so the safety bar is low; the description goes further by disclosing the exact fields returned, the semantic of nextOccurrenceAt (next slot not yet created; absent once ENDED), and the cross-workspace error message. It stops short of describing pagination or auth requirements, but for a read tool that is minor.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

One dense but front-loaded sentence that leads with the verb/resource and then enumerates returned data. The field list is long, but each item is meaningful; nothing is padded with filler or restated boilerplate.

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?

With an output schema present, the description needn't re-explain return values, yet it adds the semantics an agent needs (nextOccurrenceAt absence at ENDED, cross-workspace not-found behavior, id provenance). Nothing required to invoke it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both id and workspaceId are already documented in the schema, giving a baseline of 3. The description reinforces id sourcing and workspace scoping but adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema already carries.

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?

States a specific verb (Get) and resource (one recurring post/series) by id, and immediately differentiates from list_recurring_posts by scoping to a single record. An agent can tell it apart from the sibling list tool without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly tells the agent where valid ids come from (list_recurring_posts, create_post's recurringPostId, get_post/list_posts), which is the key prerequisite for calling it. It gives clear context but never states a when-not-to-use case or explicitly contrasts with list_recurring_posts.

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