Can I create a new article draft using my agent?

Yes. Use the `create_cms_article` tool by providing a title, alias, category ID, and the HTML content. Your agent will generate the article in Joomla, allowing you to publish content without opening the admin panel.

How do I find the correct Category ID for a new article?

Ask your agent to `list_global_categories`. It will return a list of all available categories on your Joomla site along with their unique numerical IDs, making it easy to map your new content accurately.

Can my agent check the site's menu structure?

Absolutely. Use the `list_site_menus` tool to retrieve all configured menus and menu items. This is useful for auditing navigation links and ensuring your site layout is consistent with your content hierarchy.
