react_to_post

Allows you to react to a post using any available reaction type (st.reactToPost action). If this workflow is still running, do not retry this tool; retrying can queue duplicate reaction attempts.

Linked API actions are queued into a cloud-browser workflow and may take several minutes. The server returns immediately after starting the workflow with {status: 'pending'|'running', pendingReason, workflowId, operationName, message}. To retrieve the final result, call get_workflow_result with the returned workflowId and operationName — it will long-poll until completion or the request budget elapses, then return either the final result or another in-progress snapshot. Do not retry the original tool while a workflow is still running; that creates duplicate queued work.

A pending workflow carries pendingReason: 'queued' means it is waiting its turn behind other work on the same account and will start within minutes. 'outsideWorkingHours' means the account has configured working hours and the workflow is parked until they reopen — possibly the next working day. In that case get_workflow_result returns immediately instead of polling, message states when the window opens, and you should report that to the user rather than looping.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With only readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true available, the description carries the async behavior fully: the call returns immediately with a pending/running status plus pendingReason, work is queued in a cloud-browser workflow and may take minutes, and retrying duplicates queued work. The 'queued' vs 'outsideWorkingHours' semantics and the fact that get_workflow_result returns immediately in the latter case are exactly the non-obvious traits an agent needs.

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 action, then the workflow contract, then pendingReason meanings — a sensible order. It is somewhat verbose and repeats the 'do not retry / duplicate work' warning twice, which is redundant but not harmful.

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?

For an async, no-output-schema mutation tool, the description explains how the deferred result is obtained and how to interpret in-progress states, which closes the biggest gap. It does not describe the final result payload shape, so minor inference remains.

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 postUrl/postUrn/companyUrl semantics are already structured, including the either/or hint. The description adds only 'any available reaction type', which the enum already conveys, so it sits at the baseline.

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?

Opens with a specific verb+resource: react to a post with any available reaction type, and names the underlying action (st.reactToPost). The resource 'post' implicitly separates it from react_to_comment, but the description never explicitly contrasts the two siblings, so an agent must infer the distinction.

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 concrete operational guidance: do not retry while a workflow is running, call get_workflow_result with the returned workflowId/operationName, and report the working-hours window to the user instead of looping. It does not state when to prefer this over react_to_comment or what preconditions (e.g., account connection) are needed.

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