postcopilot_read_guideRead a PostCopilot blog post / guide about Threads. Returns the full text content. Use postcopilot://blog/catalog resource first to see available guides, or provide a topic to search.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | Yes | Topic to search for (e.g. "viral", "video download", "export followers", "analytics") or a blog slug |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description mentions returning full text but lacks detail on behavior when topic not found, or whether it returns one or multiple guides. Adequate but could improve.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences, front-loaded with purpose, followed by usage guidance. No extraneous content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Simple tool with one parameter and no output schema. Description explains return value and parameter usage clearly. Could mention format (e.g., Markdown) but not necessary.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Parameter 'topic' has a description with examples (e.g., 'viral', 'video download') and clarifies it can be a slug. Schema coverage is 100%, and description adds value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it reads a blog post/guide about Threads and returns full text. It distinguishes from sibling tools which perform different actions (download, export, generate).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly recommends using the catalog resource first or providing a topic. Does not specify when not to use this tool, but guidance is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: downloading videos, exporting followers/following/profile, generating posts, and reading guides. No overlap or ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent 'postcopilot_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case, making them predictable and easy to distinguish.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for Threads social media tasks—covering content retrieval, analytics, and creation without being over- or under-sized.
Core workflows (exporting data, generating posts, reading guides) are covered. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct posting or interaction tools, but the surface is coherent for the stated purpose.
