Stop every Pin on the account from publishing, for example to correct many scheduled Pins before any of them goes out. Nothing about the Pins themselves changes: scheduled Pins stay queued with their existing times, and drafts stay drafts. While publishing is paused, any Pin whose scheduled time arrives fails instead of publishing, and it stays failed after publishing resumes: it has lost its slot and needs rescheduling with POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/posts/{postId}/schedule. The rest of the schedule does not shift forward to fill the gap. This is a switch for the whole account, not an edit to any Pin: to change Pins, use PATCH /v1/accounts/{accountId}/posts/{postId} on each one, and to take a single Pin off the schedule, use POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/posts/{postId}/unschedule. The pause applies to the Pinterest account itself, so it also covers any other Tailwind account connected to the same Pinterest account. Pausing an account that is already paused succeeds and changes nothing. Resume with POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/publishing/resume.

Error message

string

reason

Machine-readable reason. On PAYMENT_REQUIRED errors it is the denial reason: insufficient_credits, trial_exhausted, no_access, account_not_connected, legacy_post_limit_exceeded. Other errors may carry an operation-specific reason, such as pinterest_reconnect_required, pinterest_rate_limited, pinterest_timeout, pinterest_request_failed or list_boards_upstream_failed; each operation’s documented error responses show the values it returns. Branch on reason rather than parsing message.

string

resolve_url

Present on PAYMENT_REQUIRED errors: where the denial can be resolved. Reason-specific, because buying credits does not clear a trial, access or connection denial. Requests sent with X-Request-Source: mcp receive an informational plans page instead, so agent surfaces never present a purchase link.
