# Marketing: Buffer (Social)

Social media scheduling, publishing, and analytics platform for managing multiple social profiles.

Call the `run_marketing_tool` tool with `tool: "buffer"` and `args: [...]` — args is the same
`{resource} {action} [--flag value ...]` shape as the CLI itself. Output is JSON on stdout.

Example: `run_marketing_tool` with `tool="buffer"`, `args=["--help"]`.

Use `--dry-run` on any command to preview the request without sending it. Full command reference (every resource/action/flag): [reference.md](reference.md).

Needs the secret(s) `BUFFER_API_KEY` set in the vault (Secrets UI) — ask the operator to add them if
`run_marketing_tool` reports they're missing.
