Short answer

How can I use AI to check my Magnolia component schemas?

Your AI uses the Magnolia connector to pull the exact schema for any template. It then compares those definitions against your requirements to find missing fields or type mismatches. You get a clear list of exactly which components need fixing.

Where every issue lands.

Validation outcomes

The AI processes the schema data and organizes the results into these categories.

MISSING

Missing required fields

The AI identifies components where mandatory fields are absent from the schema. You get a list of specific templates that need updates.

MISMATCH

Data type errors

The agent flags where a field's type doesn't match your expected structure. This helps catch configuration mistakes before they hit production.

VALID

Verified components

Components that pass the audit are marked as compliant. You can rely on these definitions for your content modeling.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If the AI finds ambiguous definitions, it flags them for you. You decide how to resolve complex structural conflicts.

The workflow

What your AI does when the schema request arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading and comparing technical definitions.

  1. Fetch schema

    Your agent pulls the current template definition directly from your Magnolia instance.

    mg.get_template_schema

  2. Analyze structure

    The AI compares the retrieved schema against your provided requirements or standard component models.

    mg.get_template_schema

  3. Identify gaps

    The agent looks for missing properties, incorrect field types, or broken hierarchies.

    mg.get_template_schema

  4. Report findings

    The AI presents a clean summary of what works and what needs a developer's attention.

    mg.get_template_schema

    Can the AI change my Magnolia templates?

    No. The AI can only read the schemas. You must manually make any changes in the Magnolia UI.

    Does the AI delete any component definitions?

    No. This connector is read-only for schema validation. It cannot delete or modify your data.

  • 03

    How does the AI know what a 'correct' schema looks like?

    The AI relies on the requirements you provide in your prompt to determine if a schema is valid.

  • 04

    Can I audit multiple templates at once?

    Yes. You can provide a list of template names in a single prompt for the AI to check.
