# social_posts_update

Replace a social draft's text/media/account selection. Read it before editing. Reuse the same requestId when retrying an uncertain operation.

## Execution

Interface: Creators MCP tool at https://mcp.creator.gg/mcp. Do not construct a REST route from the tool name. The connection selects the workspace.

Effect: changes workspace data. requestId is required by the service (8–128 characters); reuse it only for the same action and arguments.

## Behavior and limits

Replaces draft content/account selection. Read the post first and preserve intended media/settings.

## Example arguments

Illustrative placeholders only. Replace IDs with values from this workspace, resolve sender/content/recipients, recalculate dates, and generate a new requestId for a new action.

```json
{
  "postId": "post_example",
  "accountIds": [
    "account_example"
  ],
  "summary": "Updated product news.",
  "media": [],
  "type": "post",
  "requestId": "example-social_posts_update-001"
}
```

## Input schema

Generated from the current executable Creators contract. Runtime rules in Behavior and limits and the linked guide also apply; JSON Schema alone cannot express all cross-field constraints.

## Result interpretation

Results use status and message, with operation-specific data and optional link, code, nextAction, and operationId. Data may retain different list/record envelopes. A completed read or accepted send is not proof of delivery/publication. An unknown result must be reconciled. HUMAN_ACTION_REQUIRED returns instructions without performing the action.
