Get one post

get_post
Read-only

One publish: per-target status and the reason any target failed. For a post link you probably want open_post instead. A target whose account was disconnected keeps its status and link, with connectionId null and accountHandle set to that account's handle; editing, deleting or retrying the post then returns 409 account_disconnected until the same account is reconnected, and the same post id comes back with it. 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
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesA 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.
workspaceIdNoWhich 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.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnly/destructive/openWorld; the description goes well beyond them by disclosing the disconnected-account state (connectionId null, accountHandle set), the exact 409 account_disconnected failure on edit/delete/retry, id stability, and the full bridge nextStep protocol (run_wake / ask_user_login / ask_user_update) with a retry cap.

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?

Front-loaded with the return semantics and the sibling comparison before the dense edge-case material. The bridge paragraph is lengthy with several nested conditions, but each clause governs a distinct agent action (which field to read, what to say, whether to retry).

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the return-shape burden and does so for the salient cases (per-target status, failure reason, bridge object). It leaves other response fields, such as media or account metadata, unspecified, but covers everything needed to call and interpret the tool 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 already documented, including that id accepts a publish id, channel id, or link. The description adds no format or edge-case detail beyond what the schema states, so the baseline 3 applies.

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+resource (retrieve one publish/post) and immediately clarifies the scope: per-target status plus the reason any target failed. It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling open_post, so an agent can route correctly 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?

Names the alternative (open_post) and the condition that selects it ('For a post link'). It also gives retry guidance (do not retry more than twice) and the bridge.nextStep branch conditions, which is genuine when-to-act guidance. It does not, however, contrast with list_posts for multi-post retrieval.

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