List the Page’s / Instagram account’s own posts

list_meta_posts
Read-only

List the connected Facebook Page's or Instagram account's OWN existing posts — id, caption, permalink, publish date and format. THIS IS THE TOOL THAT GETS YOU THE postId every other Meta read needs: meta_post_insights, list_meta_comments and manage_meta_post all require one, and until now the only way to have a postId was to have just published it yourself with post_to_meta. Use it for "how did our last few posts do", to find a post the user describes loosely, or before backfill_posts. Pass target:'instagram' for the linked IG account (Stories are excluded — Meta's media edge does not return them); Facebook hides unpublished drafts unless you ask for them. Only ever reads a Page the brand has connected. Read-only, 0 credits.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and destructiveHint, but the description adds critical behavioral context: 'Read-only, 0 credits', Stories exclusion on IG, Facebook draft visibility, and the restriction to connected Pages. This goes beyond the structured annotations and informs the agent of important edge behaviors.

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?

Every sentence in the description earns its place, packing high-value info: purpose, unique value, usage examples, exclusions, and read-only/credit notes. It is dense but not bloated, and the key 'get postId' message is front-loaded.

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 read-only listing tool with no output schema, the description covers all essentials: what it returns, pagination via cursor (implied in schema), exclusions, and usage context. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly and interpret results.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context for specific parameters: explains target:'instagram' for linked IG account, and includeUnpublished for Facebook drafts. This enriches the schema descriptions without redundancy, though cursor and pageId are well-documented in the schema and not elaborated further—still, the added context warrants a 4.

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 clearly states the tool lists the connected Facebook Page's or Instagram account's OWN posts, with specific fields (id, caption, permalink, publish date, format). It also positions itself as the source of postId for other Meta tools, distinguishing it from siblings like meta_post_insights and list_meta_comments.

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?

Explicitly guides when to use: 'how did our last few posts do', finding a loosely described post, before backfill_posts. It also notes limits (IG Stories excluded, Facebook drafts hidden unless requested) and mentions the target parameter for Instagram. Clearly routes the agent to appropriate scenarios without ambiguity.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

With 293 tools, the surface is enormous and many tools have overlapping purposes—multiple posting tools (post_to_meta, post_to_linkedin, schedule_post, etc.), multiple analytics tools per channel, and several search tools (search_meta_ads, search_instagram, search_reddit...). While each description is detailed, the volume makes it difficult for an agent to reliably distinguish between similar tools without careful reading, leading to frequent misselection.

Naming Consistency4/5

The naming is largely consistent with a verb_noun pattern (post_to_*, list_*, create_*, delete_*, update_*, manage_*). There are clear families for major operations. A few outliers like 'google_business_account', 'hermoso_capabilities', and 'store_get' break the pattern, but the overwhelming majority follow a predictable structure, making navigation somewhat easier.

Tool Count1/5

293 tools is far beyond any reasonable scope for a single MCP server, even for a comprehensive marketing platform. The calibration guide flags 50+ as an extreme mismatch, and this is nearly six times that threshold. Such a large surface overwhelms context windows, increases the probability of misselection, and makes it impractical for agents to learn or use effectively.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers a vast domain: ad creation and rendering, posting across nine+ social channels, analytics and reporting, file management (Drive/OneDrive), competitor research, brand management, and more. It appears to provide CRUD and lifecycle coverage for most resources. While there may be minor gaps given the immense scope, the overall coverage is impressively comprehensive.
