postiz_create_post

Create, schedule, or immediately publish social media posts across multiple integrations. Specify content, images, and optional settings for each account. Choose between draft, scheduled, or instant publication.

Instructions

Create, schedule, or immediately publish one or more posts via POST /api/posts. PUBLIC SIDE EFFECT: with type='now' or a near-term schedule, this lands on real social accounts. Use postiz_get_provider_settings_schema first to construct valid settings blocks. Requires enableWrite.

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, description fully discloses the public side effect for 'now' and near-term schedule, the dependency on provider settings schema, and the 'enableWrite' permission requirement. This is comprehensive for a write operation.

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 sentences exactly: action, side-effect warning, prerequisite. Every sentence adds value; no redundancy or filler.

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?

No output schema, yet description does not mention expected return value (e.g., post ID) or pagination. For a creation tool, this gap may hinder the agent from handling the response. Purpose and side effects are clear, but return details are missing.

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 60% (type, date, posts described in schema). Description adds the side-effect warning for type and the prerequisite for settings, but does not explain shortLink or tags parameters, which remain undocumented.

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?

Description clearly states the tool creates, schedules, or publishes posts, specifying the HTTP endpoint and the public side effect for 'now' or near-term schedule. This distinctly separates it from siblings like delete or update tools.

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?

Description advises using postiz_get_provider_settings_schema first to construct valid settings and mentions the 'enableWrite' requirement. It implies caution with type='now' but lacks explicit 'when not to use' guidance.

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