One reviewable package per call, from either a ready clip export (export_id) or a rendered episode (composition_id) — pass exactly one. platform picks the destination family: youtube / youtube_shorts build a YouTube package (title, tags, privacy, category, made_for_kids; youtube_shorts is export-only), linkedin / x build a social package (post_body; an overlong LinkedIn video becomes a link_to_youtube package, X video over its ~140s API limit becomes manual_handoff and never auto-posts). Nothing publishes externally — a separate server-bound final confirmation consumes the displayed exact package, normally from the first-party workspace. App-only descriptor visibility is not an authenticated-MCP transport or human-review boundary. Required copy follows the package builder: YouTube packages require description (export YouTube also requires title); social packages compose defaults when copy is omitted.
The JSON blocks below are the exact MCP descriptor projections served by Rails for the named profiles at capture time. Security schemes and resource URIs may vary by connected host.
