Get post

get_post
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get a single post by ID with full details including platform statuses, labels, media files, recurring schedule info, and metrics. For a thread post, threadParts holds the parts and threadMediaFiles resolves the media they reference: that media is NOT in mediaFiles, which carries only the media on the post itself. Use this when the user references one specific post by its ID.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable behavioral nuance about thread posts: threadParts and threadMediaFiles behave differently from mediaFiles, which is not inferable from annotations or the schema.

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?

Three sentences, each earning its place: the core purpose, the thread nuance, and the usage trigger. The most important information is front-loaded, and there is no redundant filler.

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?

For a single-parameter read tool with a full output schema, the description covers the needed call context and clarifies a non-obvious data placement behavior. Nothing essential is missing for an agent to invoke it correctly.

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 coverage is 100% and the only parameter, postId, is already documented as 'The post ID.' The description reinforces that the ID selects a single post but adds no additional format or constraint details beyond the schema.

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 states a specific action ('Get a single post by ID') and resource, with an explicit enumeration of what 'full details' includes. It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like list_posts and get_post_metrics by anchoring on a single post ID.

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?

The final sentence gives an explicit trigger: 'Use this when the user references one specific post by its ID.' It does not name alternatives such as list_posts for multiple posts, so there is a clear usage context but no explicit exclusions.

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