Connect the hosted MCP at https://ai.metricool.com/mcp with OAuth, and ask only for mcp:read when the job is reporting\n2.

Give publicationDate a dateTime and an IANA timezone, in the future\n5. Back off on your own, since no rate limits or Retry-After are documented\n\n### SocialCannon\n\n1. Use the sandbox before publishing to a real account.\n2. Check X quota separately from the general post allowance.\n3. Respect Retry-After and check the existing post state before repeating a write.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Metricool API + MCP or SocialCannon?\n\nSocialCannon scores 50.2 (D) on agent readiness against Metricool API + MCP's 38.3 (E), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
