Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Agility CMS integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Agility CMS calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Agility CMS data, across all 9 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Agility CMS access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Agility CMS, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Agility CMS is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Agility CMS.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Agility CMS action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven utilizes the sync tokens provided by the Agility CMS API to maintain a stateful connection with your content. Instead of pulling the entire library every time, the agent calls the sync endpoints to retrieve only the items that have changed since the last token was issued. This ensures that your downstream systems like search indexes or static site generators stay updated in real time without hitting API limits. The agent manages the pagination automatically, walking through every page of results until the sync is complete and the new token is stored for the next cycle.
Yes. Every read action in Ceven for Agility CMS requires or defaults to a locale parameter. The agent can iterate through a list of your active locales to compare content parity. For example, you can ask the agent to find any content items that exist in the English locale but are missing in the French locale. It does this by pulling the content lists for both locales and performing a diff on the content IDs, allowing your localization team to quickly identify and fill gaps in translated content.
Agility CMS enforces rate limits based on your subscription tier and the specific API endpoint being called. If a Ceven workflow triggers a massive sync of thousands of pages, you might encounter a 429 too many requests error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will pause and retry the request automatically. However, for very large datasets, we recommend using the sync endpoints rather than the standard get content list calls to minimize the number of requests and avoid hitting these thresholds during peak traffic.
The agent uses the get content models tool to understand the underlying schema of your CMS. This allows Ceven to be dynamic. If you add a new field to a content model in Agility, the agent can detect that change and map the new field to a corresponding column in your data warehouse or a new property in your search index without you needing to rewrite the workflow. It reads the schema definitions first and then uses that metadata to structure the subsequent data retrieval calls.
Yes. By using the get sitemap flat action, Ceven retrieves the complete mapping of page paths to sitemap items. You can use this to automate the creation of redirects in your CDN or to build a custom navigation menu in a separate application. The agent can monitor the sitemap for changes and automatically update a JSON file in your GitHub repository, which then triggers a redeploy of your frontend, ensuring that your site structure is always current.
Ceven connects to Agility CMS webhooks to enable event driven workflows. When a content editor publishes a page or updates a content item, Agility sends a notification to Ceven. This notification triggers the agent to run a specific sequence, such as clearing a cache or notifying a stakeholder. Because the webhook payload is lightweight, the agent immediately follows up with a get page or get content item call to retrieve the full updated state of the asset before pushing it to other tools.
Ceven can retrieve both the definitions of page modules and the actual content within those modules on a per page basis. Using the get page modules tool, the agent identifies the available building blocks of your site. When pulling a specific page, the agent parses the content zones to identify which modules are used and in what order. This allows you to run audits on how often certain modules are used across your site or to automatically generate reports on layout consistency.
Ceven uses secure API key management to communicate with Agility CMS. Your API keys are encrypted at rest and are never exposed to the end user or the underlying large language model. Access is scoped to the specific permissions granted to the API key you provide in the Agility dashboard. If you suspect a key has been compromised, you can rotate the key in Agility CMS and update it within the Ceven connection settings, which immediately terminates all active sessions using the old credential.
