List posts for an organization

get_posts
Read-onlyIdempotent

List posts for a Buffer organization with sorting, filters, field selection, and cursor pagination; one request per page, and provider errors fail even on HTTP 200.

Instructions

List posts for an organization. Current Buffer GraphQL posts. One request, no automatic pagination. Use upstream fields to bound data; provider errors are failures even with HTTP 200.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sortNoThe sort to apply to the posts results
afterNoOpaque cursor from pageInfo.endCursor. One page per ordinary call.
firstNoLocal page-size cap 100, default 25; provider may impose additional query limits.
fieldsNoUpstream field paths relative to the result, as in official CLI --fields. Default fields are bounded. Use items.id for connection nodes; pageInfo.endCursor for cursors.
filterNo
accountNoPrivate account profile name. Selects credentials only; an organization default does not restrict provider token permissions.
payloadNoComplete native input object instead of individual input fields.
payload_fileNoRegular local JSON input file, no symlink, at most 1 MiB; cannot mix with payload or individual input fields.
organizationIdNoThe Organization id to fetch posts for

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behavioral context beyond that: single-request semantics, no automatic pagination, and that provider errors are failures even with HTTP 200.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, no wasted wording. The fragment 'Current Buffer GraphQL posts' is slightly cryptic but compact.

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?

With no output schema or annotations gap, the description supplies the critical operational facts an agent needs: no automatic pagination, one page per call, and provider errors surfacing as failures. It does not describe the returned shape, but that gap is modest for a list tool.

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 89%, so the schema carries almost all parameter meaning. The description only gestures at the 'fields' parameter ('Use upstream fields to bound data'), adding little syntax or format detail beyond what the schema already documents.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource with scope: 'List posts for an organization.' An agent can tell it fetches a collection. It does not explicitly differentiate from the singular get_post sibling, so it falls short of a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

'One request, no automatic pagination' and 'Use upstream fields to bound data' imply how to use the tool but never state when to choose it over get_post, query_pages, or graphql_query. Usage is inferred rather than directed.

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