## Description [#description]

The description the MCP server sends to the model, word for word. Its rules apply to every call.

> Get your recurring schedule template (weekly time slots). Each slot may list reserved tags (a reserved lane), untaggedNotesOnly (only notes with no tags), and default Buffer cross-post channels. Queue routing: each weekly time can reserve tags, accept only untagged notes, or stay open for any note, and may also set default Buffer channels. A time with tags is a reserved lane — it stays empty until a note shares ANY of those tags (OR). A time marked untaggedNotesOnly (and with no tags) accepts only notes with no tags; tagged notes never take those times, including Add to Queue leftovers. Untagged notes never take reserved lanes. When filling the next template times (schedule_notes), a tagged note takes the first open (any-note) time or matching reserved lane, whichever comes first. An untagged note takes the first open or untagged-only time. If a time has Buffer channels, those replace the note's channels when the note lands there (apply-on-schedule only). Substack still always posts. Call get_schedule to see each slot's tags, untaggedNotesOnly, and bufferChannels.
