# links_preview

Read the destination page title, description and Open Graph image for a short-link preview. Uses public HTML metadata and can return available:false when the page has no metadata or cannot be read. Does not create or change a link. Preview overrides are set through links_create, links_prepare or links_update.

## Execution

Call this MCP tool at https://mcp.creator.gg/mcp. The connection selects the workspace. A tool name is not a REST route.

Effect: reads data or returns an account-screen link.


## Example arguments

Examples illustrate the schema. Replace placeholder IDs with workspace IDs and recalculate dates. For mutations, use a new requestId for each new action and retain it for identical retries.

```json
{
  "destinationUrl": "https://example.com/offer"
}
```

## Input schema

Generated from the executable tool contract. The behavior notes and related guide cover rules that JSON Schema cannot express.

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "destinationUrl": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "maxLength": 4096
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "destinationUrl"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}
```

## Result interpretation

Inspect status, message and operation-specific data; list and record shapes vary. A completed read or accepted request does not prove delivery or publication. Reconcile unknown outcomes. HUMAN_ACTION_REQUIRED returns instructions without performing the action.
