• src/tools/threads/publishing.ts:97-129 (handler)

  The threads_publish_video tool handler and its schema registration. It handles video publication by creating a container, waiting for processing, and then publishing the container ID.

  server.tool(
    "threads_publish_video",
    "Publish a video post on Threads. Waits for video processing. Supports topic tag, quote post, alt text, and spoiler flag.",

      text: z.string().max(500).optional().describe("Caption text"),
      reply_control: z.enum(["everyone", "accounts_you_follow", "mentioned_only", "parent_post_author_only", "followers_only"]).optional().describe("Who can reply"),
      topic_tag: z.string().max(50).optional().describe("Topic tag for the post"),
      quote_post_id: z.string().optional().describe("ID of a post to quote"),
      alt_text: z.string().max(1000).optional().describe("Alt text for accessibility (max 1000 chars)"),
      is_spoiler: z.boolean().optional().describe("Mark content as spoiler"),
