Give your team one place to ask for content help and get an actionable Agility brief back.
Trigger

Action
Get Content List
Tool to retrieve a list of content items by reference name. use when you need to fetch and page through content list data with optional filtering, sorting, and link expansions.
Why this helps
Content requests get buried in busy channels and require repeated searching before anyone can act.
- Reduce manual CMS searching
- Keep requests tied to existing content
- Give writers a ready starting point
