Keep the Botopticon board "Ship gate" current.
Post each JSON body below to https://www.botopticon.com/api/ingest.
Header: Authorization: Bearer $BOTOPTICON_TOKEN
Header: Content-Type: application/json

If you can call MCP, connect to https://www.botopticon.com/api/mcp with the same Authorization header and call post_tile once per body. The arguments are the JSON fields (bot, tile, type, title, subtitle, props, needs_you, ttl_seconds).

Post when work happens. Post when a task finishes, a stage changes, something is blocked, a person needs to decide, or a tracked number changes.
When needs_you is true, say who is asking, what it is about, and the ask.
Set ttl_seconds to how often you really work. A quiet tile should show as stale.
Use a timer only for data no agent touches, such as an outside metric. Daily is the default.
Never post the same content again just to keep a tile fresh.

Call post_tile with each JSON body in the agent prompt. If this client cannot call MCP, run the curl block instead.
