Tell the assistant whether it may change data and where it must stop for review. ## Review a schedule Use `mcp:read`: ```text Review next week's scheduled Publications in the Personal workspace. Group them by destination, flag empty days and missing media, and do not change anything. ``` The assistant can inspect Publications, Renditions, connected accounts, media, and posting slots without gaining write access. ## Check provider readiness Use `mcp:read` before planning work for a new destination: ```text Check whether the Company workspace and its LinkedIn account are ready to publish an image post. Report each blocker without changing settings. ``` This prevents the assistant from drafting against an unavailable provider, disconnected account, or unsupported format. ## Prepare a draft Use `mcp:full`, but stop before scheduling: ```text Create an unpublished launch draft for the Company workspace and its connected LinkedIn account. Reuse the newest matching image in the media library. Stop after creating the draft. ``` Inspect the saved Publication in OpenPost. Check each destination Rendition before asking the assistant to schedule it. ## Schedule approved work Use `mcp:full` and provide an exact time or ask for an available posting slot: ```text Validate Publication pub_123. If it passes, schedule it in the next available Company workspace slot. Report the saved time and job state. ``` Treat `scheduled` and `queued` as intermediate states. They do not prove that a provider published the content. ## Investigate a failed destination Use `mcp:read` first: ```text Inspect Publication pub_123, its Renditions, and lifecycle events. Explain which destinations succeeded or failed and quote the saved failure reason. Do not retry anything. ``` Grant `mcp:full` only if you then want the assistant to make a correction or retry an authorized destination.
