Update post

update_post

DestructiveIdempotent

Edit an existing post. Pass the post's slug and a patch of fields to change; coverImage: null removes the cover. Use this when the user wants a published post or draft changed. patch: { status: "draft" } takes a live post offline and "published" puts a draft live. Slug itself can't change; delete and republish if you need a new URL. Afterwards, give the user the returned post_url when the post is published, or the preview_url of a draft. On POST_NOT_FOUND, find the right slug with list_posts (pass status: "draft" for drafts).

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`slug`	Yes	Slug of the post, e.g. "hello-world", as returned by create_post or list_posts.
`patch`	Yes	Fields to change; omitted fields stay as they are. Same fields as create_post except `slug`, which cannot change.
`blog_id`	No	Your blog's id, as returned by signup. Optional with an API key: it defaults to the key's blog, and any id you pass must be that blog. Required when the server runs without API keys.
`idempotency_key`	No	Optional retry key, any unique string (e.g. a UUID). Retrying with the same key and identical arguments returns the first result instead of writing again; the same key with different arguments fails with IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_CONFLICT. Scoped to your API key and this tool.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`post`	No
`error`	No	Present only on failure (isError: true). Success fields are absent then.
`post_url`	No	Live URL of the post. Present only when it is published.
`preview_url`	No	Private link to a rendered draft for the human to review: not indexed, not listed anywhere. Present only for drafts, on hosts with previews.
`next_post_hint`	No	One line for you, the agent, on a young blog's first posts: offer your human the next post.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare the safety profile (destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true), and the description adds real context beyond them: that `status: "draft"` takes a live post offline, that `coverImage: null` removes the cover, that slug is immutable, and what to surface to the user afterwards (post_url vs preview_url). It also names the POST_NOT_FOUND failure mode, which no structured field covers.

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?

Five dense sentences, front-loaded with the verb and required inputs, then constraints, then post-call behavior, then error recovery. Every sentence carries an actionable fact; none restates the title or the schema.

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 destructive mutation with a nested patch object and an output schema, the description covers the mutation's side effects, identity constraints, state transitions, and failure recovery. Return values are handled by the output schema, and the description correctly limits itself to telling the agent what to do with them.

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 earns a bump by adding cross-parameter semantics the schema only states locally — partial-patch behavior implied by 'a patch of fields to change', slug immutability, and the null-means-remove convention for coverImage. It does not surface publishAt scheduling or idempotency_key, which are the two most consequential parameters to miss.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Edit an existing post') and immediately distinguishes it from siblings by naming the immutable identity (`slug`) and pointing at delete_post/create_post behavior ('delete and republish'). An agent can tell this apart from create_post, update_blog, or delete_post without opening a schema.

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?

Gives explicit when-to-use ('when the user wants a published post or draft changed') plus conditional guidance for state transitions (status draft/published), an explicit exclusion (slug can't change), and an error-recovery route (on POST_NOT_FOUND use list_posts with status: "draft"). Nothing is left to inference.

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