Schedule a post

schedule_post
Destructive

Add a post to the user's scheduled queue, to publish unattended at a time they choose. Call it once WITHOUT confirmation_token to get a preview and a token, then again with the token only if the user agrees. The time must be UTC ISO-8601 and at least ten minutes in the future.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
formatNoTwitter only. long_post is one post up to 25,000 characters and needs X Premium. Default post.
contentYesThe exact post text.
platformYesWhich platform.
signatureNoOptional. "none" posts without the profile's signature. Leave it out otherwise.
tone_usedNoOptional tone label.
account_idNoThe connected account to post to, from list_profiles. Only needed when more than one account is connected on that platform.
content_typeNoTwitter only. Ignored on LinkedIn, which has no threads.
made_with_aiNoTwitter only. Adds Twitter's Made with AI label to the post. Only when the user asks for it.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Adds real value beyond the annotations by disclosing that the first call is side-effect free and returns a preview plus token, which clarifies the destructiveHint=true risk. It does not mention what gets posted where on success, rate limits, or whether scheduling can be canceled, so the safety story is only partially filled in.

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: what the tool does, the confirmation protocol, and the hard timing constraint. Front-loaded and free of 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 an 11-parameter mutation tool with an output schema and fully described parameters, the description covers the intent, the risky two-step flow, and the timing precondition. Nothing essential for a correct call is missing.

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 every parameter is already documented, including confirmation_token's two-phase semantics and the UTC constraint. The description restates those facts rather than adding new meaning, so the 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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Add a post to the user's scheduled queue") plus the outcome ("publish unattended at a time they choose"). That implies the distinction from publish_post (immediate publishing), but it never names that sibling, so an agent must infer the boundary.

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?

Gives explicit invocation guidance for the two-call confirmation flow: first call without confirmation_token for a preview, second call with the token only after user agreement. It lacks guidance on when to prefer this over publish_post or list_profiles for account selection.

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