Tools

• create_shorttext ~260 tokens
  Create a new shortText and get a shareable shorttext.com URL back. Markdown is supported. Requires an API key in the request Authorization header (`Bearer st_live_…`, request one from api@shorttext.com) — without it, creation is rejected (reading stays open to everyone).
• read_shorttext ~146 tokens
  Fetch a shortText by its slug (the id in a shorttext.com/{slug} URL). Returns the text body and metadata. Public and unlisted shortTexts are open; private ones need a password. Reading a burn-after-read shortText consumes it.
