Create Plone Content

plone_create_content

Creates new content items in Plone, including pages, news articles, and events. Supports adding Volto block structures for complex layouts.

Instructions

Creates a new content item (e.g., a page or news article) in Plone. To add complex block-based content, first prepare the structure with plone_create_blocks_layout, then call this tool. Example: plone_create_content({parentPath: '/', type: 'Document', title: 'My Page', description: 'A sample page'})

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idNoID for the new content (optional, will be auto-generated if not provided)
typeYesContent type to create (e.g., 'Document', 'Event', 'News Item')
titleYesTitle of the new content
blocksNoVolto blocks structure for the content, it specifies the blocks data and content
parentPathYesPath where to create the content (e.g., '/parentDocument' or '/' for root)
descriptionNoDescription of the new content
blocks_layoutNoVolto blocks layout configuration, it specifies the order of blocks
additionalFieldsNoAdditional fields to update. For preview images, include preview_image_link: { '@id': 'image-url' } in this object (if you get a 400 error, make sure the image URL is accessible).
Behavior2/5

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

Without annotations, the description carries full burden. It identifies the tool as creating content (mutation) but fails to disclose permissions, side effects, error handling, or return value. The note about block preparation is the only behavioral hint beyond basic action.

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 plus a clear example. No redundant text; every sentence adds value. Front-loaded with action and examples.

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?

Given no output schema and 8 parameters including nested objects, the description provides basic context but lacks guidance on block structure, error scenarios, or return values. Leaves gaps for complex usage.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal parameter semantics beyond the schema, only showing an example of typical usage. It does not explain relationships between blocks, blocks_layout, and additionalFields.

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 creates new content in Plone, provides examples ('page or news article'), and distinguishes from sibling tools by referencing plone_create_blocks_layout for block-based content. The example further clarifies usage.

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?

Explicitly recommends using plone_create_blocks_layout before this tool for complex block-based content, guiding when not to use this tool directly. Does not list all alternatives but provides relevant context for common scenarios.

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