Delete a post

delete_post

Destructive

Delete a post from the channel for good. This is not reversible, so confirm with the person first. Daily delete limits differ per channel: Threads 100 a day, Instagram only on accounts connected via Facebook, with no documented daily cap, YouTube 20 a day, Facebook 50 a day, Bluesky 35000 a day, Telegram only within 48 hours of publishing, with no documented daily cap, Naver Blog through the browser extension, with no documented daily cap, TikTok has no delete API; posts can only be removed in the app. On a scheduled or draft post nothing is on any channel yet, so this simply cancels it and removes our record. A Naver draft (target externalId starting with draft:) is only in Naver's draft box: this cancels our record and, with extension 0.7.2 or later, removes that draft too. On Threads and YouTube this also works on posts written in the channel's own app, given the link. Instagram only lets us delete on accounts connected via Facebook: an account connected with Instagram login cannot be deleted through us at all, so tell the person to delete it in the Instagram app. Facebook only lets us delete Page posts this app published, so a post made in the Facebook app cannot be deleted through us. If the account that published the post was disconnected, this returns 409 account_disconnected and deletes nothing on any channel; reconnect the same account and the post id comes back. If the response carries bridge, bridge.nextStep says what is needed: run_wake means Chrome with the extension is closed, so tell the person bridge.userMessage with the bridge.wake command for their OS and retry once after they say Chrome is open; ask_user_login / ask_user_update mean tell the person bridge.userMessage. Do not retry more than twice.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`id`	Yes	A publish id (post_…), the post's own id on the channel, or a post link (the URL you would open in a browser to see it). Links work for posts written in the channel's own app too, as long as the account is connected here.
`workspaceId`	No	Which workspace this is for. Only needed when the account has more than one — the error tells you the ids when it matters. Leave it out if it is already decided; do not ask the person again.

A4.6/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds critical context: irreversibility, channel-specific quotas, draft/scheduled behavior, 409 account_disconnected handling, bridge.nextStep protocols, and a retry cap. No contradiction with annotations.

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 and irreversibility warning are front-loaded, and the dense channel/error details are valuable. However, the long unbroken paragraph could be structured with lists for faster scanning, and a few clauses feel redundant.

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 high-complexity destructive tool with no output schema, the description is remarkably complete: it covers channel limits, error responses, bridge workflows, and draft semantics. An agent has everything needed to invoke and handle outcomes 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 description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are fully documented in the schema. The description repeats the accepted id forms but adds no new syntax or format details beyond what the schema already states. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 and resource ('Delete a post from the channel') and immediately clarifies the irreversible nature. The resource 'post' inherently distinguishes it from siblings like delete_reply or delete_automation, so an agent can select it without ambiguity.

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?

Provides extensive when/when-not guidance: channel-specific daily limits, accounts where deletion is impossible (TikTok no API, Instagram login cannot delete), Facebook Page-only restriction, and the alternative (tell the person to delete in the app). This goes well beyond naming an alternative and covers preconditions and exclusions.

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