Identify Content Models

Start by running `list_content_models` to get a definitive list of all available models. This gives you the required Model ZUIDs needed for any subsequent scripts. You can also check overall account setup with `list_zesty_instances`.

Content Item Management

Write new content records using `create_content_item`. This tool accepts a JSON payload, letting you inject structured data directly from your pipeline script. If the record needs fixing, run `update_content_item` instead.

Audit and Inspect Data

Want to know what content exists? Execute `list_content_items` for a full list. To verify specific data points, use `get_content_item`. You can also check configuration details with `get_instance_settings`.
