# Request provider insights

Canonical URL: https://sosoapi.ai/docs/mcp/request-provider-insights

`sosoapi_request_provider_insights`

Ask the provider for insights for an account or one post over an optional date range (up to 366 days). Returns a request_id and, when cached, the result; otherwise poll sosoapi_get_provider_insight_status.

## Profiles and transports

Profiles: core, full

Transports: stdio, http

Choose core or full to control which tools your client sees; this does not change its permissions. Local file upload requires stdio and is unavailable over HTTP. Set SOSOAPI_OUTPUT_SCHEMAS=1 to include output schemas in discovery. Tools return structured results with or without that setting.

## Permissions and side effects

Annotations help clients describe a tool. Each call still checks the user’s authentication, role, resource access and capability grants.

  "readOnlyHint": false,
  "destructiveHint": false,
  "idempotentHint": false,
  "openWorldHint": true
}

## Structured output

This schema describes structuredContent in a successful tool result. The MCP response also includes content and may set isError when a call fails. For publishing, read the post’s final result rather than treating an accepted request or text response as confirmation. The linked API operation explains permissions and retry rules.
