Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Category name (required) | |
| slug | No | URL slug (auto-generated from name if omitted) | |
| siteId | No | Override the active site for this single call. Pass to target a specific tenant without mutating shared active-site state — the right pattern when running concurrent agent sessions managing different tenants. Must match a siteId from your THINCMS_SITES config (use thincms_list_sites to inspect). When omitted, the call uses the active site set by thincms_switch_site. | |
| parentId | No | Parent category ID for nesting | |
| sortOrder | No | Sort order (lower = first) | |
| description | No | Category description | |
| confirmProductionWrite | No | Acknowledge that this call may write to a configured production site (THINCMS_PRODUCTION_SITE_IDS env var). Required for any POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE against a production-listed site; ignored otherwise. The error message lists which site triggered the requirement and recommends thincms_snapshot before any production write. |
