Headless content updates in Claude Code

Use `patch_cms_record` within your CI/CD scripts to update site content programmatically. It allows for automated deployments that pull the latest CMS data without human input. You can pipe the output of these tool calls into your logs. This gives you a clear audit trail of every content change your agent triggers.

Automated GraphQL auditing for Claude Code

Run `execute_graphql_cda` in your shell to verify your content schema during a build. It helps you catch breaking changes before they hit production. This keeps your deployment pipeline tight. If a query fails, the agent knows immediately and can report the exact cause in your terminal.

Terminal-based media control for Claude Code

Trigger `get_media_upload` to verify file metadata from your command line. It’s useful for checking asset status during automated site audits. You avoid the GUI entirely. The agent handles the structural verification and returns the status directly to your console window.
