| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| teamName | No | Team name (required). Use esa_get_teams first to see available teams. | |
| truncate | No | Whether to truncate body_md to avoid overwhelming the agent context (default: true). If the response ends with '... (truncated)' and you need the full body (e.g. before calling esa_update_post to preserve the tail), retry with truncate: false. body_md_stats reports the full body's character and line counts even when truncated. | |
| postNumber | Yes | The post number to retrieve |
