LinkedIn: Get post

linkedin_get_post
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get a LinkedIn post by Nilyo post_id. Use when you already know a post_id and need full post context.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
post_idYesExact provider post ID returned by post search/list/get. Never pass post text, author ID or URL. Post ID: Exact provider post id; LinkedIn commonly uses a preformatted/base64-style post ID. Obtain with: linkedin_search_posts -> result.id; linkedin_list_user_posts -> result.id; instagram_list_user_posts -> result.id Never pass: post text, author user ID, URL unless a resolver tool explicitly accepts it.
account_idNoOptional Nilyo connection ID (unipile_account_id from list_connected_accounts). Omit when the user has one account for this provider. When several exist, Nilyo never guesses: list them (display name, identifier, provider user ID), choose the one the user named or ask, and pass its ID here.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description only adds that it returns 'full post context,' which is minimal beyond what annotations provide.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the action and the key precondition. No filler, though 'by Nilyo post_id' is slightly awkward wording.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple two-param read tool with full schema coverage and full annotations, the description plus structured fields cover everything needed to call it correctly. A hint on return shape would help since there is no output schema, but it is not essential.

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 post_id param description is extremely detailed (sources, never-pass guidance, format notes). The description adds nothing beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a clear verb+resource: 'Get a LinkedIn post by ... post_id.' This distinguishes it from list/search siblings well enough, though the odd phrasing 'by Nilyo post_id' muddles it slightly and it doesn't explicitly differentiate from linkedin_resolve_my_post or linkedin_list_user_posts.

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?

It says when to use it ('when you already know a post_id') and implies the precondition that you must have a post_id in hand, which implicitly steers agents toward search/list tools when they don't. It does not name the alternative explicitly nor state exclusions.

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