Cline handles Akeneo PIM metadata
Fetch precise details using `get_product_details` or `list_attributes`. Cline parses the JSON output to build your component props instantly. You avoid the back-and-forth between the PIM UI and your code. Just ask Cline to grab the data and it writes the constants for you.
Update product records via Cline
Modify catalog entries using `update_product` without leaving VS Code. It pushes changes back to the PIM once you confirm the code diff. This tool ensures your product definitions stay current. Cline reads the schema first to prevent invalid data submissions.
Map PIM categories for Cline
Use `list_categories` to pull the structure of your catalog into your project. Cline uses this to define navigation maps or filtering logic. It makes working with deep category trees simple. You get the full path for every product family defined in the PIM.
