Tools & capabilities
1Social tools 10
list_accountsConnected accounts, what each network accepts, current plan, remaining quota. Call it first — channel ids come from here.preview_postFree dry run: per-network limits, media requirements, threading behaviour, quota cost. Nothing is published.publish_postPublishes now, or schedules up to 30 days ahead. Returns a per-network receipt. Takes an `idempotencyKey`.list_postsPosts with their delivery outcome per network — delivered, failed with a reason, cancelled, or `unknown` — plus stored engagement metrics.update_postEdits a post that has not been sent yet. The networks have no edit endpoint, so it withdraws and replaces.cancel_postUnschedules a post and releases the quota it reserved.delete_postDeletes from 1Social and attempts removal from each network. See [What deletion can and cannot do](#what-deletion-can-and-cannot-do).retry_deliveryRetries one failed network, leaving the successful ones alone. Refused for permanent failures.upload_mediaPre-signed upload target, for clients that cannot attach a file to a tool call.confirm_deliveryRecords **your** answer about a delivery whose outcome was unknown: is the post live on that network or not?

Already-published posts cannot be cancelled.upload_mediaUpload a local image or video file and get a hosted URL to use in media_urls when scheduling.get_account_analyticsRecent posts and their engagement metrics for one connected account (likes, comments, views, etc.). The reliable analytics surface.get_post_analyticsPer-channel engagement metrics for a specific post you scheduled (best-effort; use get_account_analytics for the full picture).generate_contentGenerate post copy for a platform from a topic — great for a "generate then schedule" flow. Returns a caption/post/description you can feed into schedule_post. Platform must be one of: instagram, tiktok, snapchat, facebook, youtube.get_best_timesPersonalized best posting times for one connected account, computed from its own engagement history. Requires the Professional plan or higher. Hours are UTC; shift to the poster’s timezone.
