Before you let an AI agent post for your brand: a seven-point checklist

· OragleGPT

Letting an AI agent draft and schedule social posts saves real time. Letting it publish to a brand account with no guard rails is how a typo, a wrong date or a hallucinated claim reaches thousands of people. These are the checks we built GPTpost's agent access around, and they apply to any tool you consider.

  1. The agent never holds your social passwords or tokens. It should authenticate to a scheduler with its own key, and the scheduler holds the network connections. In GPTpost, agent keys work only on the agent API and the MCP endpoint, never on the rest of the app.
  2. Scopes match the job. A reporting agent needs read access only. A drafting agent may need to create posts but not publish them. Look for separate read, write and media scopes.
  3. A person approves before anything goes out. The approval rule should be enforced by the server, not by the prompt. In GPTpost an agent's post waits in the same approval stages as a person's post.
  4. Per-network rules are checked on creation. The agent should learn that a Bluesky post is too long when it creates it, not when it silently fails at 9:00 the next morning.
  5. Retries cannot double-post. Agents retry. An idempotency key on create calls, and a scheduler that marks a post published only when the network confirms it, keep a retry from posting twice.
  6. Access can be cut instantly. Keys should expire, be revocable in one click, and die automatically when the person who created them loses their role or changes their password.
  7. There is a record. Every agent action should be attributable to a named key, so you can tell what the agent did from what a person did.

Also decide what the agent may read

An agent that can read your inbox and comments can also leak them into a prompt. GPTpost's agent tools publish and read post status only; they do not expose comments, direct messages or analytics from the networks.
