Posts: Update post

social_update_post

Edit an existing supported social post. Resolve the exact post first, then reuse post.id. Never infer an ID from post text or author. Post ID: Exact provider/Unipile 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.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
textNoReplacement/updated post text requested by the user.
post_idYesExact provider post ID. Resolve/list the post first; never pass post text, author ID or a human description. Post ID: Exact provider/Unipile 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.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already signal mutation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destruction (destructiveHint=false), so the description mainly needs to add context beyond that. It adds important ID-resolution caveats, but does not disclose side effects, permission requirements, irreversibility, or failure behavior.

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?

The purpose is front-loaded and the critical never-infer-an-ID guidance is emphasized. The description is somewhat run-on and repeats ID guidance also present in the schema, but it remains appropriately sized and actionable.

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

Completeness3/5

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

There is no output schema, and the description does not specify which social providers are 'supported' or what a partial update behaves like. Still, the ID-resolution instructions plus the schema's account_id guidance cover the main invocation needs.

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

Parameters4/5

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

post_id semantics are strongly enriched beyond the schema with provider-specific examples and resolver chains. Schema coverage is 75%, so baseline is near 3, but the detailed warning about never passing post text, author ID, or URL justifies a higher score. can_comment lacks semantic explanation beyond its enum values.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Edit an existing supported social post.' This distinguishes it from sibling create, delete, and comment tools, and the title 'Posts: Update post' reinforces the intent.

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 description gives clear context: resolve the exact post first and reuse post.id, never inferring an ID from text or author. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool, but the 'existing' wording implies the update-vs-create/delete boundary.

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