How to customize the text in an embedded post?

I struggle to understand why there is not an option to customize the full embedded text. I do not want to scrape any actual content from the embedded URL, instead just have a link to it with a short description (e.g. just the meta summary).

It sounds like you don’t want an embed, which is, by it’s nature, the “embedding” of content from another place.

Right now I do this with an automated API call, but want to switch to the native embedding feature.

Why do you want to switch?
