How do I generate a Contentful Personal Access Token?

Log into your Contentful dashboard. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and navigate to **Account Settings**. Locate **Personal Access Tokens** and click 'Generate Personal Token'. Copy the value provided.

Do I need the Space ID to use this integration?

Yes. Most actions the AI performs require your specific Space ID to target the correct content repository effectively.

Can the agent interact with unpublished draft entries directly?

Yes, Contentful's Content Management API (CMA) natively handles internal content regardless of publish state. You can command your AI to fetch, check, or structure a draft before hitting the publish flag explicitly.
