Capabilities

Tools 20

describe_collection

Describe one collection in detail. Returns the collection metadata plus a properties array — each entry is a property with its type, description, and indexed/filterable/sortable flags. Call list_collections first to find a collection id, then describe_collection to see what is queryable inside it. `indexed: true` means the property appears in query_collection / search_collection results (and may be filterable/sortable). `indexed: false` means the property exists on objects but is not returned by query/search — retrieve it through get_object instead.

Discovered
describe_view

Describe one data view in detail. Returns metadata (id, name, description, last_built, access, total_items) plus output_shape — the list of keys present on the first cached item, sampled so agents can compose effective query_view / get_view calls. Admin callers also receive the view's Twig definition for dev visibility. Use list_views to discover view ids first.

Discovered
docs_get

Fetch a full Total CMS documentation page as markdown by its path (as returned by docs_search), e.g. "twig/data" or "site-builder/overview".

Discovered
docs_lookup

Look up a specific Total CMS reference entry: Twig functions/filters, field types, REST API endpoints, schema configuration keys, CLI commands, extension API, or builder API. Omit `name` to list all entries of a kind.

Discovered
docs_search

Search the Total CMS documentation. Returns matching pages with their path, title, group, and section headings. Use docs_get with a returned path to read the full page.

Discovered
fetch

Fetch the full document for a search result id. Returns {id, title, text, url, metadata}; `text` is the readable body for citation. Pass an id returned by the `search` tool.

Discovered
find_comparison

Find the head-to-head comparison page for a competitor by name (case-insensitive partial match). Returns the full page content including the feature table. Parameters: - competitor (string, required): Competitor name, e.g. "Kirby" or "Craft". Returns: paginated comparisons objects with url per item.

Discovered
get_object

Fetch a single object by its id from a collection. Returns the full object as a flat map of fields, decorated with a `url` field where the collection has a public URL pattern configured. This tool does not search or filter — use query_collection for paginated lists or search_collection for free-text search. Available collections and filterable properties: - articles — id (id, sortable), title (text), author (select), summary (textarea), date (date, sortable), draft (toggle), updated (datetime, sortable) - comparisons — competitor (text), competitorUrl (url), heading (text), lede (textarea), reviewed (date, sortable), draft (toggle), sort (number, sortable), id (id, sortable) - extension — id (id, sortable), name (text), extensionId (text), soldAs (text), summary (textarea), category (select), price (number, sortable), currency (select), minEdition (select), minVersion (text), bundled (toggle), beta (toggle), docsUrl (url), productUrl (url), draft (toggle), owner (select), featured (toggle), approved (datetime, sortable), submitted (datetime, sortable), weight (range, sortable) - guides — heading (text), lede (textarea), reviewed (date, sortable), draft (toggle), sort (number, sortable), id (id, sortable), kind (select), product (select) - releases — id (id, sortable), version (text), title (text), date (date, sortable), draft (toggle), urgent (toggle), fullnotesurl (url), announce (toggle) - showcase — name (text), url (url), industry (select), id (id, sortable), owner (select), draft (toggle), featured (toggle), approved (datetime, sortable), submitted (datetime, sortable), weight (range, sortable) - starters — id (id, sortable), name (text), job (text), siteName (text), summary (textarea), status (select), package (text), buildCommand (text), coreStarter (select), minEdition (select), minVersion (text), demoUrl (url), repoUrl (url), featured (toggle), draft (toggle), updated (datetime, sortable) - streams — id (id, sortable), title (text), date (date, sortable), summary (textarea), release (select), draft (toggle)

Discovered
get_resource

Resolve a tcms:// resource URI to its underlying object. Format: tcms://{collection}/{id} — e.g. tcms://blog/hello-world. Equivalent to calling get_object with the parsed collection and id; returns the same shape. Use this when a URI has been surfaced to you (in other tool output, in user input, etc.); use get_object directly when you have a separate collection + id pair. Extension-registered URIs (other schemes) are reachable via the resources/read transport surface.

Discovered
get_view

Fetch a data view's full cached result by id. Output is freeform — each item's field set depends on the view's Twig definition. Call describe_view first to learn the expected shape. Capped at 50 items; larger views return the first 50 plus a hint to call query_view for pagination. For per-item paginated access use query_view directly.

Discovered
latest_release

The most recent Total CMS release: version, title, date and the release summary. Returns: paginated releases objects with url per item.

Discovered
list_collections

Discover the collections visible to you. Lean overview — one entry per collection. Returns id, name (display label), schema (the schema id this collection uses), description, url_pattern, access level, and total_objects (so you can decide whether to paginate or enumerate). For the per-property detail of one collection (which properties exist, which are filterable/sortable), call describe_collection. Then query_collection / search_collection / get_object for the data.

Discovered
list_guides

The site's Guides: evergreen buying-guide pages served at /guides/{id}. Returns every guide in display order with its id, heading, lede, reviewed date and draft flag. A guide's full content (contenders, choose, howToChoose, faqs, sources) is on the object itself: get_object with collection "guides". Returns: paginated guides objects with url per item.

Discovered
list_views

Discover the pre-computed data views visible to you. Lean overview — one entry per view. Data views are Twig-defined queries that aggregate across collections; their result is cached and accessible by id. Returns id, name, description, last_built, and access. Use the id with query_view (paginated query), get_view (fetch the whole cached result), or describe_view (output shape + metadata). For raw collection content use list_collections instead.

Discovered
needs_review

Comparison pages ordered by how long ago their competitor facts were last verified, oldest first. Pass `before` (ISO date) to return only pages last verified before that date. Each page shows its verification date publicly, so keeping these fresh matters. Parameters: - before (string, optional): Only pages whose reviewed date is on or before this ISO date (optional). Returns: paginated comparisons objects with url per item.

Discovered
query_collection

Query a collection for paginated content. Returns the matching items plus pagination metadata (total, limit, offset, has_more); each item is decorated with a public `url` field where one is configured. Use REST-style `include` / `exclude` filter strings (comma-separated field:value pairs; AND-semantics for include, OR-semantics for exclude) and `sort` (e.g. `date:desc`). Only properties listed in the catalog below are queryable — other schema properties exist on objects but are not filterable here; use get_object if you need the full record or describe_collection to see every property. This tool does not free-text search content — use search_collection for that. It does not fetch a single object by id — use get_object. Available collections and filterable properties: - articles — id (id, sortable), title (text), author (select), summary (textarea), date (date, sortable), draft (toggle), updated (datetime, sortable) - comparisons — competitor (text), competitorUrl (url), heading (text), lede (textarea), reviewed (date, sortable), draft (toggle), sort (number, sortable), id (id, sortable) - extension — id (id, sortable), name (text), extensionId (text), soldAs (text), summary (textarea), category (select), price (number, sortable), currency (select), minEdition (select), minVersion (text), bundled (toggle), beta (toggle), docsUrl (url), productUrl (url), draft (toggle), owner (select), featured (toggle), approved (datetime, sortable), submitted (datetime, sortable), weight (range, sortable) - guides — heading (text), lede (textarea), reviewed (date, sortable), draft (toggle), sort (number, sortable), id (id, sortable), kind (select), product (select) - releases — id (id, sortable), version (text), title (text), date (date, sortable), draft (toggle), urgent (toggle), fullnotesurl (url), announce (toggle) - showcase — name (text), url (url), industry (select), id (id, sortable), owner (select), draft (toggle), featured (toggle), approved (datetime, sortable), submitted (datetime, sortable), weight (range, sortable) - starters — id (id, sortable), name (text), job (text), siteName (text), summary (textarea), status (select), package (text), buildCommand (text), coreStarter (select), minEdition (select), minVersion (text), demoUrl (url), repoUrl (url), featured (toggle), draft (toggle), updated (datetime, sortable) - streams — id (id, sortable), title (text), date (date, sortable), summary (textarea), release (select), draft (toggle)

Discovered
query_view

Paginated query against a data view's cached result. REST-syntax include/exclude/sort, same vocabulary as query_collection. View data is freeform — call describe_view first to learn the field set before composing filters. `limit` is capped at 50; use offset to paginate larger views.

Discovered
search

Search site content across all collections you can see. Returns matching results as {id, title, url}; pass a result id to `fetch` to read the full document. Drafts are hidden from anonymous callers.

Discovered
search_collection

Free-text search within a single collection. Returns matching items decorated with a public `url`; total reflects what was found. Supports AND (default), OR, and "quoted phrases". Searches across the properties listed in the catalog below — other schema properties exist on objects but are not searchable here; use get_object for the full record or describe_collection to see every property. This tool does not filter by field value — use query_collection with `include`/`exclude` for that. Drafts are auto-hidden from anonymous callers. Available collections and filterable properties: - articles — id (id, sortable), title (text), author (select), summary (textarea), date (date, sortable), draft (toggle), updated (datetime, sortable) - comparisons — competitor (text), competitorUrl (url), heading (text), lede (textarea), reviewed (date, sortable), draft (toggle), sort (number, sortable), id (id, sortable) - extension — id (id, sortable), name (text), extensionId (text), soldAs (text), summary (textarea), category (select), price (number, sortable), currency (select), minEdition (select), minVersion (text), bundled (toggle), beta (toggle), docsUrl (url), productUrl (url), draft (toggle), owner (select), featured (toggle), approved (datetime, sortable), submitted (datetime, sortable), weight (range, sortable) - guides — heading (text), lede (textarea), reviewed (date, sortable), draft (toggle), sort (number, sortable), id (id, sortable), kind (select), product (select) - releases — id (id, sortable), version (text), title (text), date (date, sortable), draft (toggle), urgent (toggle), fullnotesurl (url), announce (toggle) - showcase — name (text), url (url), industry (select), id (id, sortable), owner (select), draft (toggle), featured (toggle), approved (datetime, sortable), submitted (datetime, sortable), weight (range, sortable) - starters — id (id, sortable), name (text), job (text), siteName (text), summary (textarea), status (select), package (text), buildCommand (text), coreStarter (select), minEdition (select), minVersion (text), demoUrl (url), repoUrl (url), featured (toggle), draft (toggle), updated (datetime, sortable) - streams — id (id, sortable), title (text), date (date, sortable), summary (textarea), release (select), draft (toggle)

Discovered
search_collections

Full-text search across every collection you can see, in one call. Returns matching items each decorated with `collection` (which collection the hit came from) and `url`. Pair `collection` + `id` to fetch the full record via get_object. Call list_collections for the available collections and describe_collection on any one for its full property list; properties not flagged filterable there exist on objects but are not searched here (use get_object for the full record). For a single-collection search use search_collection instead — same query syntax, scoped tighter. Drafts are auto-hidden from anonymous callers.
