# What can an AI assistant do with DunSocial MCP tools?

> DunSocial exposes 53 MCP tools in five groups: posts, drafts, media, memory & workspaces. A good assistant lists accounts first, uploads media, validates the post, then schedules or publishes. Drafts never publish on their own.

## Five groups of tools

Once connected, an assistant can use 53 tools against the workspace you approved. You ask in plain language & the client picks the right tool.

| Group | What it covers |
|-------|----------------|
| Posts | List, schedule, publish, threads, reschedule, cancel, delete, X cap usage |
| Drafts | List, create, update, delete |
| Media | List, upload URL, complete upload, delete |
| Memory | Collections, save, search, update, delete |
| Workspaces | Workspaces, members, social accounts, Pinterest boards, Discord & Slack channels |

## Platform-specific tools

Some platforms need their own options, so DunSocial has dedicated schedule & publish tools for Reddit, Instagram, Pinterest, Discord, Slack & TikTok. X threads have their own pair of tools too.

The generic `schedule_post` & `publish_now` tools work for the rest, & can carry platform options in a `metadata` block when needed. Facebook Pages need no metadata at all.

## The order that works

An assistant that follows this order makes far fewer mistakes:

1. List workspaces if needed & confirm the connected one
2. List social accounts & copy the account id
3. Upload media if the post needs it
4. Call `validate_post`, & fix anything in `issues[].next` before continuing
5. Schedule, publish, or save a draft if it isn't ready

It helps to tell the assistant this order directly the first time.

## What it can't do

An assistant can't act outside the approved workspace, & it can't use a scope you didn't grant. It also can't invent account ids: an @handle isn't an id, so it has to list accounts first.

`create_draft` saves an idea & nothing more. Going live needs an explicit schedule or publish call.

DunSocial enforces both limits on the server, so an assistant can't talk its way past a missing scope.

## How DunSocial keeps this safe

Every post created through MCP lands on the same calendar as one created in the web app. A person can open the calendar, see it & edit or cancel it before it publishes.

Scheduled posts also carry their source, so a team can see which posts came from an assistant & which from a person.

## Good first requests

- "List my connected accounts & the posts scheduled this week."
- "Save this note to my brand memory collection."
- "Upload this image, then publish a Pinterest Pin to my Landing page board."
- "List Discord channels, then publish this update to #announcements."

Start with the read-only ones, then move to scheduling once the output looks right.

DunSocial's answers to these show the real state of your workspace, which is the best test of a new connection.
