Skool MCP Server and API by Cotlet

List posts

list_posts
Read-onlyIdempotent

Posts in a group's feed, pinned first, then newest, with author, category, likes and comment count. Lists one page of the group's feed as Skool shows it: pinned posts on top, then the newest. A page holds up to 30 posts; pass next_cursor back as cursor for older ones. category and since filter within the page, so a filtered page can come back short or empty while next_cursor still points further. preview is the first 200 characters; get_post takes post_id or slug and returns the full text with comments.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With annotations already declaring a safe read-only operation, the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond them: page size up to 30, pinned-then-newest ordering, cursor pagination, and the important caveat that category/since filters apply only within the current page.

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 description is front-loaded and largely efficient, but the ordering is stated twice ('pinned first, then newest' and 'pinned posts on top, then the newest'), making it slightly more repetitive than necessary.

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 paginated list tool with no output schema, the description covers the returned fields, ordering, page size, cursor behavior, filtering caveat, and the full-text alternative via get_post. An agent has enough information to call it correctly.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining that next_cursor should be passed back as cursor and by clarifying that category and since filter within the page, which is not obvious from the schema alone.

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 gives a specific verb and resource ('Lists one page of the group's feed') plus the ordering behavior and returned fields. It also distinguishes the result from get_post by noting that preview is only the first 200 characters while get_post returns full text with comments.

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 clearly explains how to page through older posts using next_cursor as cursor, and names get_post as the alternative for full post text. It does not explicitly compare against other discovery/list tools such as search_group, but the main usage context is clear.

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