Publish or schedule a post

create_post
Idempotent

Publishes to every named channel, or schedules it with scheduledAt. THIS IS PUBLIC AND CANNOT BE UNDONE once a network has published. idempotencyKey is required: derive it from the content or the task, not at random, so a timeout you retry returns the original post instead of publishing a second one. Under a review-mode credential this prepares the post and stops for a person to approve.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
draftNoKeep it in Mellow as a draft. Nothing is sent to any network. A draft may be unfinished — its media, text or title can come later — and is asked for what it still lacks when it is published or approved.
mediaNoOrdered media. Each entry is a public https URL, or an object with url and an optional thumbnailUrl.
captionNoThe text of the post. Networks with shorter limits can be given their own with perChannel.
optionsNoPer-network settings, keyed by platform: instagram, facebook, threads, tiktok, tiktok_business, youtube, x, linkedin, pinterest, bluesky, telegram. YouTube requires title, and takes description, tags (500 characters together), categoryId, privacyStatus (public, unlisted, private), madeForKids, license, embeddable, publicStatsViewable, recordingDate, containsSyntheticMedia, defaultLanguage and localizations (title and description per language tag, which YouTube takes only with defaultLanguage); a thumbnail for YouTube alone goes on that channel's own media, perChannel.<id>.media[].thumbnailUrl. publishAt (an ISO time, with privacyStatus private) has YouTube hold the upload and make it public then: the post reads published at once, with goesPublicAt on it, until that time, and the library files it as scheduled. Pinterest pins to the account's first board unless boardIds names one, and a Pinterest video needs a cover: thumbnailUrl on the media item. Instagram and Facebook take placement (timeline, reels, stories). Instagram takes trialReelType to post a trial reel, shown first to people who do not follow the account: manual (the owner shares it with followers from the Instagram app) or performance (Instagram shares it with followers by itself if it does well within 72 hours). Only one video posted as a reel can be a trial; a story, picture or carousel with trialReelType is refused (trial_needs_reel). Instagram gives trial reels only to accounts with enough followers (Hub's own bar is 200); where it gives none, or the day's trials are used up, a trial reel is never turned into an ordinary one by Hub on its own: it fails, saying so, and nothing is posted. Only ordinaryIfTrialRefused: true (off unless set) lets it go out as an ordinary reel instead, and its settings then carry trialReelDeclined. Instagram takes finishInApp: true with soundUrl (the sound's page on Instagram) for a reel whose sound only the Instagram app can choose — a trend's sound from Instagram's library or another creator's original audio: Hub does not post it to Instagram, it sends the person the video, the caption and the sound at the post's time, and the channel reads publishing until they mark it posted. A TikTok that promotes the owner's own product or business takes discloseYourBrand: true (TikTok labels it Promotional content); one another brand paid for takes discloseBrandedContent: true. Telegram takes silent: true (no notification sound) and disableLinkPreview: true. See mellow://guide/platforms for every field.
channelsYesChannel IDs from list_channels: spc_… for most networks, tgc_… for a Telegram channel.
perChannelNoOverrides for one channel, keyed by channel ID. Accepts caption, media, and that network's options. This is how you give one channel a shorter caption without shortening the post everywhere.
scheduledAtNoISO 8601 time to publish at. Omit to publish immediately.
idempotencyKeyYes8–120 characters, stable for this post. Reusing it for different content is refused.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true) by warning that publication is public and irreversible once a network has published, explaining the retry/idempotency contract ('derive it from the content or the task, not at random'), and disclosing review-mode credential behavior. These are exactly the operational traits an agent cannot derive from structured fields.

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?

Four sentences, no filler, and the highest-stakes information (public and irreversible) is front-loaded and emphasized. Every sentence carries a distinct obligation: mode selection, irreversibility, idempotency derivation, review-mode behavior.

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 an 8-parameter tool with nested objects and no output schema, the description covers the risky semantics an agent needs before calling: irreversibility, idempotency key derivation, scheduling, and review-mode short-circuit. Return behavior on retry is also touched ('returns the original post'), and the schema itself carries exhaustive parameter documentation.

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 the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning beyond the schema: it tells the agent to derive idempotencyKey from content or task rather than at random, and clarifies scheduledAt selects scheduled rather than immediate publishing. The remaining six parameters are left entirely to the (very rich) schema.

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 and resource ('Publishes to every named channel, or schedules it with scheduledAt') and covers both modes of the operation in one sentence. An agent can distinguish this from siblings like update_post, preview_post, validate_post and cancel_post without opening any schema.

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 clear selection criteria between immediate publish and scheduling via scheduledAt, and explains the review-mode credential path (prepare and stop for approval). However, it never names or excludes alternatives such as preview_post or validate_post, so an agent must infer whether to dry-run first.

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