MCP publication approval
Review and approve an exact immediate-publication request before Beacon sends the post.
Immediate publication uses two separate reviews. Neither review can authorize changed content.
Confirm the tool call
The MCP client first asks the user to confirm the exact beacon_create_post arguments.
An idempotency key identifies one tool request. The confirmed call must include confirmed: true and a stable key.
Complete the Beacon approval
- Receive the
APPROVAL_REQUIREDresult. - Open the returned Beacon approval URL.
- Review the exact content.
- Review every destination and provider setting.
- Review all attached media.
- Approve the request in Beacon.
The Beacon approval is valid for ten minutes.
Retry the approved request
- Add the returned
approvalId. - Keep the same idempotency key.
- Keep all other arguments unchanged.
- Call
beacon_create_postagain.
A different user, workspace, content value, destination, setting, or media item requires a new approval.
Do not bypass a denied or expired approval. Request a new approval when the user still wants publication.
