Beacon provides 13 visible tools and three on-demand tools.

Find a tool

Tool	Purpose
`beacon_search_tools`	Search the complete tool catalog.
`beacon_get_tool_help`	Read the contract for one exact tool.
`beacon_call_tool`	Call a catalog tool, including an on-demand tool.

Search and help do not bypass the selected tool permission or approval.

`beacon_list_channels`	List channel details and publication readiness.
`beacon_get_provider_contract`	Read required fields, text limits, and media rules.

`beacon_get_post`	Read one post and its channel destinations.
`beacon_list_media`	List ready media in the selected workspace.
`beacon_get_media`	Read media details and inspect an image.

Run beacon_check_post before beacon_create_post. Fix every reported error before creation.

`beacon_generate_post_drafts`	Generate editable post copy with AI credits.
`beacon_generate_post_image`	Generate and save one image with AI credits.
`beacon_create_post`	Save a draft, schedule a post, or request immediate publication.

Each create tool requires confirmation. Immediate publication also requires a separate Beacon approval.

`beacon_get_media_upload_link`	Open Beacon so the user can upload a local file.
