Buffer is a social media management platform for planning, creating, scheduling, and publishing content across connected channels.

## Tools

- **Create Idea** — Create a persistent content idea in a Buffer organization. Buffer's public API provides no operation to update or delete an idea after creation, so this action cannot be undone through the API.
- **Create Post Draft** — Create an internal text-post draft for exactly one Buffer channel. This action always saves a draft and does not queue, schedule, or publish it.
- **Delete Post** — Permanently delete a Buffer post by ID, including a draft created for cleanup. This operation cannot be undone.
- **Delete Post Template** — Delete a writable private Buffer template, or an internal template when the connected user is an organization admin or owner. This operation cannot be undone.
- **Get Account Context** — Return the connected Buffer account, its organizations, and the accessible social channels in each organization so an agent can discover the IDs required by other tools.
- **List Idea Groups** — List the idea workflow groups in a Buffer organization so an agent can discover group IDs for filtering or idea creation.
- **List Ideas** — List content ideas in a Buffer organization, optionally filtering by explicit idea groups or grouped versus ungrouped workflow membership.
- **List Posts** — List and filter posts in a Buffer organization without requesting OAuth-inaccessible analytics fields.
- **List Post Templates** — List Buffer public templates and templates visible to the connected user in an organization, optionally filtered by visibility.
- **Publish Posts** — Queue, schedule, or immediately publish the same text post to one to 10 Buffer channels. The 10-channel cap bounds external side effects and provider requests in one invocation. Calls are non-atomic: one createPost mutation runs per channel
- **Save Post Template** — Create a private or internal Buffer post template, or update an existing writable template when template_id is supplied.
