microcms_create_contents_bulk_draft

Create multiple draft contents in microCMS simultaneously, processing items sequentially with detailed success/failure reporting for each entry.

Instructions

Create multiple contents in microCMS at once. This tool processes contents sequentially and continues even if some fail. Results include success/failure status for each content.

Create new content in microCMS and publish it immediately.

Important

Ensure that the "content" you submit strictly adheres to the following specifications. In particular, take extra care when handling custom fields and iframe fields, as mistakes are common in their structure. Read the instructions thoroughly and construct the data precisely as described. In particular, for extended fields (iframe fields), you need to take care to call microcms_get_list tool beforehand, and set its structure to the "data" field (Detail is described below).

Field type specifications

  • Image fields require URL string uploaded to microCMS media library (e.g., "https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/xxx/yyy/sample.png").

  • Multiple image fields use array format.

  • Rich editor fields expect HTML strings.

  • Date fields use ISO 8601 format.

  • Select fields use arrays.

  • Content reference fields use contentId strings or arrays for multiple references, and you can get contentIds from microcms_get_list tool.

  • Custom field exepect below struct:

<field Id in apiFields> {
  "fieldId": "<target custom field id in customFields>"
  "key1": "<value1>",
  "key2": "<value2>",
}
  • iframe field (Extension field) expects the following structure for CREATE/UPDATE:

  {
    "id": "some-id",
    "title": "some-title",
    "description": "some-description",
    "imageUrl": "https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/xxxx/yyyy/{fileName}.png",
    "updatedAt": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "data": { "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2" }
  }
  • IMPORTANT: When retrieving content via API, only the "data" object content is returned (without the wrapper).

  • IMPORTANT: When creating/updating content, you MUST provide the full structure including id, title, description, imageUrl, updatedAt, and data.

  • To understand the "data" structure, ALWAYS use microcms_get_list to retrieve existing content first and examine the field structure.

  • "id", "title", "description", "imageUrl" are metadata displayed in the admin screen and are not included in the API GET response.

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'microcms_create_contents_bulk_draft' tool. It delegates to the shared bulk create logic with draft mode (isDraft: true).
    export async function handleCreateContentsBulkDraft(
      params: BulkToolParameters
    ): Promise<BulkCreateResult> {
      return handleBulkCreate(params, true);
    }
  • Core helper function that performs the bulk creation of contents. Processes each content sequentially, calls the create function from client, tracks successes and failures, and returns a summary result. Used by both draft and published bulk tools.
    async function handleBulkCreate(
      params: BulkToolParameters,
      isDraft: boolean
    ): Promise<BulkCreateResult> {
      const { endpoint, contents } = params;
    
      if (!contents || !Array.isArray(contents) || contents.length === 0) {
        throw new Error('contents array is required and must not be empty');
      }
    
      const results: BulkCreateResult['results'] = [];
      let successCount = 0;
      let failureCount = 0;
    
      for (let i = 0; i < contents.length; i++) {
        const item = contents[i];
    
        try {
          const createOptions: { isDraft: boolean; contentId?: string } = {
            isDraft,
          };
    
          if (item.contentId) {
            createOptions.contentId = item.contentId;
          }
    
          const result = await create(endpoint, item.content, createOptions);
    
          results.push({
            index: i,
            success: true,
            id: result.id,
          });
          successCount++;
        } catch (error) {
          const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
          results.push({
            index: i,
            success: false,
            error: errorMessage,
          });
          failureCount++;
        }
      }
    
      return {
        totalCount: contents.length,
        successCount,
        failureCount,
        results,
      };
    }
  • Tool schema definition including the name 'microcms_create_contents_bulk_draft', description, and inputSchema for validating parameters: endpoint and array of contents (each with content object and optional contentId).
    export const createContentsBulkDraftTool: Tool = {
      name: 'microcms_create_contents_bulk_draft',
      description: BULK_DESCRIPTION,
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          endpoint: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Content type name (e.g., "blogs", "news")',
          },
          contents: {
            type: 'array',
            description: 'Array of contents to create as draft',
            items: {
              type: 'object',
              properties: {
                content: {
                  type: 'object',
                  description: 'Content data to create (JSON object)',
                },
                contentId: {
                  type: 'string',
                  description: 'Specific content ID to assign (optional)',
                },
              },
              required: ['content'],
            },
          },
        },
        required: ['endpoint', 'contents'],
      },
    };

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: sequential processing, continuation despite failures, and inclusion of success/failure status in results. However, it doesn't mention authentication requirements, rate limits, error handling details, or what the actual response format looks like. The behavioral information is useful but incomplete for a mutation tool.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is poorly structured and contains significant redundancy. It starts with draft creation but then includes a contradictory sentence about publishing immediately. The 'Important' section repeats instructions about custom fields multiple times. Much of the text about field specifications could be moved to general documentation rather than tool-specific description. The description is unnecessarily long and confusingly organized.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a bulk creation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. While it provides some behavioral context and field specifications, it lacks crucial information about response format, error handling specifics, authentication requirements, and clear differentiation from sibling tools. The contradictory publishing statement creates confusion about the tool's actual behavior.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('endpoint' and 'contents'). The description adds no specific parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema. While it provides extensive field type specifications, these apply to content structure generally rather than explaining the tool's specific parameters. The baseline of 3 is appropriate when the schema does the documentation work.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Create multiple contents in microCMS at once.' It specifies the verb ('create'), resource ('contents'), and scope ('multiple...at once'). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from its sibling 'microcms_create_contents_bulk_published' which appears to be the published version counterpart.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While it mentions using 'microcms_get_list' to understand data structures, it doesn't explain when to choose bulk draft creation over single-item creation ('microcms_create_content_draft') or bulk published creation ('microcms_create_contents_bulk_published'). No prerequisites or exclusions are stated.

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