Configure Plone Connection

plone_configure

Configures and authenticates a connection to a Plone CMS session. Call this tool once at the start to set base URL and credentials via arguments or environment variables.

Instructions

Establishes and authenticates the connection to a Plone CMS. Must be called once per session before other tools can be used. Configuration can be provided via arguments or environment variables (PLONE_BASE_URL, PLONE_USERNAME, PLONE_PASSWORD, PLONE_TOKEN). Arguments take precedence over environment variables. To use environment variables only, call with an empty object: plone_configure({}). Example with arguments: plone_configure({baseUrl: 'https://demo.plone.org', username: 'admin', password: 'secret'}).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

baseUrlNoBase URL of the Plone site. Can be set via PLONE_BASE_URL environment variable.
passwordNoPassword for authentication. Can be set via PLONE_PASSWORD environment variable.
usernameNoUsername for authentication. Can be set via PLONE_USERNAME environment variable.
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses authentication, session requirement, precedence, and env var fallback. Could mention error behavior but adequate.

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?

Very concise: 3 sentences plus example. Front-loaded with core purpose. Every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given no output schema, description adequately covers configuration, authentication, and ordering relative to siblings. Complete for a setup tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

All parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage). Description adds meaning: explains alternative auth methods, precedence, env var fallback, and example.

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?

Clearly states it establishes and authenticates connection to Plone CMS, must be called once per session. Specific verb+resource and distinguishes from siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says 'Must be called once per session before other tools' and gives configuration options (args vs env vars) with precedence and example.

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