publish_entry

Publish a single Contentful entry or up to 100 entries in bulk by providing entry IDs. Uses standard publish for one entry and automatic bulk publishing for multiple entries.

Instructions

Publish an entry or multiple entries. Accepts either a single entryId (string) or an array of entryIds (up to 100 entries). For a single entry, it uses the standard publish operation. For multiple entries, it automatically uses bulk publishing.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
entryIdYesID of the entry to publish, or an array of entry IDs (max: 100)
spaceIdYesThe ID of the Contentful space. This must be the space's ID, not its name, ask for this ID if it's unclear.
environmentIdYesThe ID of the environment within the space, by default this will be called Mastermaster
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses bulk publishing behavior but omits critical details like permissions required, reversibility, or what occurs on failure. A publish action is a mutation, and more transparency is warranted.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences front-load the purpose and key behavior. No superfluous content; every sentence serves a clear function.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description should explain return values, but it does not. Error handling and edge cases are also missing. For a mutation tool, this is a notable gap, though the high schema coverage partially compensates.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, with well-described parameters. The description reiterates the ability to accept an array (matching schema), adding minimal extra value beyond the schema itself. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool publishes entries, distinguishing between single and bulk operations. It is specific to entries and distinct from sibling publish tools for assets, content types, and AI actions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains when to use single vs bulk publishing by specifying input format. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or alternatives among siblings.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
