What it does

Mastodon is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read and write Mastodon: verify the account, list own posts and followers, publish toots with native scheduling, upload media. Trigger phrases: mastodon, toot, post to mastodon, fediverse.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/mastodon.py`).

The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

post is a public write: confirm the text and visibility, plus any attachments, with the user before publishing, unless standing permission…
Toots are limited to 500 characters; the CLI rejects anything longer rather than truncating, so keep posts short or split them.
Instance rules apply: label bot accounts where your instance asks, and note that some instances disable open app registration.
Reading (verify, my-posts, followers, media-upload) needs no confirmation.
Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/mastodon.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- mastodon.social
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mastodon loads about 813 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~813

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

metadata.includeInPrompt: true
tagline: Read and write Mastodon: verify the account, list own posts and followers, publish toots with native scheduling, upload media.

Mastodon

Purpose

Read and write the user's Mastodon account: verify the connection, list own toots, list followers, publish toots (with native scheduling via scheduled_at), upload media for toots. Use when the user mentions Mastodon or the fediverse.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/mastodon.py:

bash

bin/mastodon.py verify --host https://mastodon.social                                  # verify the token (own profile)
bin/mastodon.py my-posts --host https://mastodon.social --limit 20                     # recent toots
bin/mastodon.py followers --host https://mastodon.social --limit 20                    # own followers
bin/mastodon.py post --host https://mastodon.social --text "hello"                     # confirm first
bin/mastodon.py post --host https://mastodon.social --text "later" --scheduled-at "2026-09-17T09:00:00Z" --visibility unlisted
bin/mastodon.py media-upload --host https://mastodon.social --file ./pic.png --description "alt text"  # returns a media id for post --media-ids

Auth

Provider id: mastodon (credential is collected as custom.mastodon)
Collection: provider OAuth via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access). Fully self-serve: register an app on your own instance with POST /api/v1/apps, or generate a personal token under Settings > Development on your instance.
Required scopes: read, write, follow, push (granular scopes such as write:statuses also work)
Allowed hosts: your Mastodon instance host, declared at connect time (the --host you pass, e.g. https://mastodon.social; it must start with http:// or https://). The credential is only ever sent to that host.
Status check: bin/mastodon.py verify --host <your-instance> (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

post is a public write: confirm the text and visibility, plus any attachments, with the user before publishing, unless standing permission exists. Scheduled toots go out unattended, so confirm those too.
Toots are limited to 500 characters; the CLI rejects anything longer rather than truncating, so keep posts short or split them.
Instance rules apply: label bot accounts where your instance asks, and note that some instances disable open app registration.
Reading (verify, my-posts, followers, media-upload) needs no confirmation.
Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/mastodon.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
