## Before you call it

1. Call `blotato_list_accounts` or `GET /v2/users/me/accounts` first, and fetch `pageId` or `boardId` before posting to a Facebook Page, LinkedIn company Page or Pinterest
2. Keep the `postSubmissionId` and poll the status until `published`, `scheduled` or `failed`. It is a receipt, not proof of publication
3. After a timeout on a create call, list existing posts before sending again, because there is no idempotency key
4. Do not generate an API key on a trial account unless the owner accepts the Starter charge
5. Keep REST bodies and MCP arguments apart. REST nests `post.content` and `post.target`, and the MCP tool takes flat arguments
