// MCP tools for the saltcorn-mcp server (its docs/pluginTools.md is the // contract): an AI client checks the Postiz connection, lists the channels, // previews and publishes posts. Every tool is an adapter over the plugin's own // operations -- publish() and configuredClient() (lib/action.js, which the // action's run uses too), the Postiz client's base-URL rules and the stored-key // helpers -- so the rules live in one place. // // Scopes: status, channel listing and previews are read (they only GET from the // configured Postiz with the stored key); publishing is admin (public and // irreversible), and so is checking candidate connection values (it sends a key // to a URL the caller chooses). The action itself carries mcp_admin_reason, so a // write token cannot post through a trigger either. // // Every handler reads the CURRENT plugin configuration (a call may come long // after the tool list was built).
