Tools (7)
create_short_link239 tokCreate a short link with its own link preview. Optional custom slug, and optional A/B variants (each with a title, description, imageUrl or templateId) to test which preview gets more clicks. Returns id, shortUrl and variants. Use the id with get_link_stats.
generate_og_image176 tokRender a 1200x630 Open Graph image from a template id (see list_templates) and text params such as title and subtitle. Returns the permanent image URL to put in og:image, and whether it was already cached. Optional exp (Unix seconds, paid plans) makes the signed URL expire; leave it out for an og:image URL.
get_link_stats159 tokGet click analytics for a short link by id (from create_short_link): totals plus breakdowns by day, country, device, browser and referrer. Optional from/to dates (YYYY-MM-DD).
create_template_from_url119 tokUse AI to design a new OG image template from a website's brand (logo, colors, fonts) taken from a URL. Returns the chosen layoutId (a built-in template id usable with generate_og_image), the variables to pass, and the extracted brand kit. Counts against the plan's AI quota.
refresh_preview102 tokForce social platforms to re-fetch a page's link preview after you changed its OG tags or image: bumps the og:image cache-buster, re-scrapes Facebook, and returns the LinkedIn Post Inspector link and the X cache note.
scan_url98 tokScan a public web page and report its link-preview (Open Graph / Twitter Card) metadata, previews per platform, and issues with fix suggestions. Use it to answer 'why does my link preview look wrong?'.
list_templates72 tokList the OG image templates the workspace can render (built-in and custom) with id, name, version and dimensions. Call this before generate_og_image to pick a templateId.
