meta get page posts

meta_get_page_posts
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read published Facebook Page posts to retrieve exact PageID_PostID, message, permalink, and media attachments, or check a specific post for an existing-post ad preflight.

Instructions

Read published Facebook Page posts using a Page token resolved from the connected user. Returns exact PageID_PostID, message, permalink and media attachments. Use postId for an exact existing-post ad preflight. No Instagram media, comments, likes or insights are requested; this read alone does not establish advertising eligibility.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum number of returned items or rows. The declared bounds and default apply; use pagination for additional results.
cursorNoPagination cursor from previous response
pageIdYesFacebook Page ID
postIdNoExact PageID_PostID to read instead of the recent-post list; must belong to pageId.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
resultYesOriginal tool result: parsed JSON when the text is JSON, otherwise the text or multiple MCP content blocks. Provider fields depend on the selected query.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the bar is lower, and the description still adds real context: the token is resolved from the connected user and the returned fields (PageID_PostID, message, permalink, media) are enumerated. The caveat that this read alone does not establish advertising eligibility is a meaningful behavioral limit that no annotation conveys.

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?

Three tight sentences: purpose and return shape first, then the postId path, then the exclusions. Every clause carries information; nothing is padded or restated from 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?

Read-only list tool with full parameter documentation, an output schema, and rich safety annotations. The description covers auth source, return contents, scope exclusions and a key limitation, leaving nothing an agent needs before calling it.

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 description coverage is 100%, so pageId, limit, cursor and postId are already documented with patterns and bounds. The description only adds the preflight use case for postId and does not clarify cursor/limit interaction or what happens when postId is supplied alongside pagination; baseline 3 applies.

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?

Specific verb+resource ('Read published Facebook Page posts') with an explicit scope boundary: no Instagram media, comments, likes or insights, and no ad-eligibility determination. An agent can distinguish this from meta_get_organic_content_enrichment or meta_get_instagram_accounts without opening the 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?

'Use postId for an exact existing-post ad preflight' gives a concrete use case, and the negative scoping sentence rules out using this read to establish advertising eligibility. It stops short of naming a sibling to use instead for Instagram content or insights, so it is clear context rather than a full when/when-not/alternative map.

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