schedule_post

Schedule social media posts for future publication from local files. Supports single videos, images, and carousel folders for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Instructions

Upload local file(s) and schedule a post for a future time. Pass a folder path to schedule all images as a carousel.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathsYesLocal file path(s) or a folder path. Single video → video post. Multiple images or image folder → carousel.
captionYesPost caption.
hashtagsNoHashtags without # prefix.
timezoneNoIANA timezone name (e.g. 'America/New_York'). Defaults to UTC.
platformsNoPlatforms to publish to (uses the first connected account per platform). Omit when using account_ids.
account_idsNoSpecific connection IDs to publish to. Use list_connections to get IDs. Required when you have multiple accounts on the same platform and want to target a specific one. Takes precedence over 'platforms' when both are provided.
scheduled_timeYesISO 8601 datetime string for when to publish (e.g. '2026-05-10T09:00:00'). Uses your local timezone if no timezone offset provided.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the safety/behavioral burden. It only describes the basic upload-and-schedule behavior and the carousel folder path, which largely duplicates schema info. No side effects, prerequisites, or error behavior are disclosed.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and no redundant wording.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description gives the core action and a key nuance (folder → carousel), but for a 7-parameter tool with no output schema, it omits any mention of return values, failure behavior, or what occurs when optional parameters are omitted.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-specific information beyond the 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 the main purpose clearly: upload local files and schedule a post for future time. Distinguishes from siblings like publish_now (immediate) and send_to_drafts.

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?

Clear context that this is for future-time scheduling, which differentiates it from immediate publishing tools. However, no explicit exclusions or alternatives are named.

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