Retrieve the count of recent posts matching a search query.
AI agents call getPostsCountsRecent to retrieve information from Xdevplatform/xmcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves aggregate statistics (post counts) based on a search query. It performs a read-only operation that queries data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could only over-query or gather information about post activity.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Retrieve the count of recent posts matching a search query' — a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
