unsave_post

Unbookmark a Substack post remotely and soft-delete it from local cache, preserving history while hiding it from searches and lists.

Instructions

Unbookmark a Substack post remotely and soft-delete it in local cache.

Soft-deletion preserves post history while removing it from active search/list outputs. When the post's Substack ID is known (normally true after a sync), this calls Substack's real unsave endpoint directly and is reliably confirmed; otherwise it falls back to a best-effort DOM click (see save_post). remote_confirmed=False means the post was still soft-deleted locally, but the tool could not verify the unbookmark on Substack's side.

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description fully carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It explains soft-deletion semantics, that remote_confirmed=False indicates local deletion without remote verification, and describes the direct endpoint vs. best-effort DOM click fallback. This is transparent and detailed.

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?

The description is information-dense with no filler. The main action is front-loaded, and each subsequent sentence adds essential detail about soft-deletion, remote confirmation, and fallback behavior. The length is justified by the tool's nuanced behavior.

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?

Despite having only one parameter and an output schema, the description covers the tool's core behavior, failure mode, and local side effects. It explains the remote_confirmed field and points to save_post for the fallback, making the description sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.

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?

The schema provides only a parameter name 'url_or_id' with no description, and the description does not explicitly define accepted formats. However, the description does add useful context about using the Substack ID when known and the fallback behavior, which partially compensates for the 0% schema coverage.

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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Unbookmark a Substack post remotely and soft-delete it in local cache.' It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like save_post and list_saved_posts by describing both the remote action and local cache behavior.

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?

The description provides clear context on when to use the tool—such as when the post's Substack ID is known after a sync—and references save_post for the fallback DOM-click behavior. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to alternatives like delete or list operations.

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