Contentful CLI for Cron Jobs

Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config.

Use the headless CLI from cron when an operation should run without an interactive agent session. The Contentful CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Contentful CLI for Cron Jobs
kosmokrator integrations:configure contentful --set access_token="$CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set space_id="$CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call contentful.contentful_list_content_types '{"limit":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Contentful docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs contentful --json
kosmo integrations:docs contentful.contentful_list_content_types --json
kosmo integrations:schema contentful.contentful_list_content_types --json
kosmo integrations:search "Contentful" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
