Official

Get Post

get_post
Read-only

Fetch a complete post record by ID to review content, schedule, and per-platform statuses before updating or publishing.

Instructions

Get one post's full record by id: text, contentType, status, scheduledAt, timezone, and a platforms array with each target's connection, status, errorMessage, and media. Visible only within the token's workspace; any other id returns "Post not found or access denied". Use this to inspect content before update_post or publish_draft. Use list_post_results instead when you only need per-platform publishing outcomes and the platformIds for retry_failed_platforms, and list_posts to find ids by status, platform, or date. Post ids come from create_post, bulk_schedule_posts, or list_posts.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false. The description adds valuable context about workspace scope ('visible only within the token's workspace') and error behavior ('any other id returns "Post not found or access denied"'), enhancing transparency without contradicting annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise but informative, using three sentences to convey the tool's purpose, returned content, and usage guidance. It avoids redundancy while providing necessary distinctions from sibling tools.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description covers the tool's primary function, output contents, error/access behavior, and relationship to other tools. Given the simple parameter and the provision of an output schema (not shown but indicated), it provides sufficient context for an agent to use the tool correctly.

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?

The single parameter 'id' is fully described in the schema (coverage 100%) and the description reinforces its origin ('Post ID from create_post, bulk_schedule_posts, or list_posts'). This adds practical context beyond the schema's basic type definition.

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 retrieves a single post's full record by ID and enumerates the included fields (text, contentType, status, scheduledAt, timezone, platforms with connection/status/errorMessage/media). It distinguishes itself from related tools like list_posts and list_post_results.

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 instructs when to use this tool ('inspect content before update_post or publish_draft') and when to use alternatives (list_post_results for per-platform outcomes, list_posts for finding IDs). This provides clear selection guidance.

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