List the last 5 articles from my Joomla site

I've retrieved the latest 5 articles. Highlights include 'Getting Started with Joomla 5' (ID: 101), '2024 Tech Trends' (ID: 105), and 'Product Launch Update' (ID: 108). All are currently published. Would you like the full text for any of these?

Create a new article titled 'AI in CMS' in the 'Technology' category (ID: 5)

Article 'AI in CMS' created successfully in the Technology category. Alias: ai-in-cms. I've added the placeholder introtext you provided. You can now use the `patch_cms_article` tool to finalize the full HTML content.

What are the active categories on our site?

I've identified 4 active categories: 'Uncategorised' (ID: 1), 'News' (ID: 2), 'Blog' (ID: 3), and 'Technology' (ID: 5). I can provide the description and parent mapping for any of these if needed.

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.
