Content Workflow Tools

Turn a seed into a batch of blog and social posts using a brand's voice, knowledge, and goals.

A content workflow is a spreadsheet-style pipeline that turns a seed — a goal, a trending term, a list of URLs, or free-form notes — into a batch of blog and social posts. Each idea becomes one row; running the pipeline takes every row through outline → post text → quality review, grounded in the brand's voice, knowledge base, and goals.

These tools let an external agent handle the trigger ("when X happens…") and then call Pendium to do the content creation ("…create posts about it").

Typical workflow

Discover existing workflows with list_workflows before creating a new one.
Create a workflow with create_workflow, choosing a seedType that matches what you have.
Populate it with ideas — add_workflow_ideas when you already know the titles (no LLM cost), or generate_workflow_ideas to have an LLM draft them from the seed.
Run the pipeline with run_workflow_pipeline to generate content for every pending row.

Tools

Tool	Auth	Description
`list_workflows`	Required	List active content workflows for an agent
`create_workflow`	Required	Create a new workflow from a seed
`add_workflow_ideas`	Required	Add specific post-idea rows (no LLM cost)
`generate_workflow_ideas`	Required (paid)	Have an LLM draft idea rows from the seed
`run_workflow_pipeline`	Required (paid)	Generate content for every pending row (the whole sheet)
`run_row`	Required (paid)	Generate content for a single row
`run_column`	Required (paid)	Generate content for a single column across all rows
`update_item`	Required	Edit a row's seed fields before it's generated (no LLM cost)
`delete_item`	Required	Permanently delete a row

Workflow authoring

Shape a workflow's structure and defaults. These are synchronous edits with no LLM cost — they change the workflow itself, not its content. Advanced per-column configuration (model, retrieval settings, quality thresholds) stays UI-only.

Tool	Auth	Description
`rename_workflow`	Required	Change a workflow's display name
`archive_workflow`	Required	Archive a workflow (removes it from the active list)
`add_research_column`	Required	Add a research/enrichment column before the generation pipeline
`remove_column`	Required	Permanently delete a column and its cells
`set_column_default`	Required	Set a workflow-level default (platform, template, media source, publish mode)
`update_workflow_notes`	Required	Set the free-text direction threaded into generations

Post publishing and lifecycle

Once a workflow has generated posts, these tools take a single post from draft to publication and manage its lifecycle. They're synchronous status changes with no LLM cost (publishing itself runs async in the background). Find a post's postId with list_blog_posts.

Tool	Auth	Description
`publish_blog_post`	Required	Publish a post now — agent site first, then any connected CMS
`schedule_blog_post`	Required	Schedule a post to publish at a future time
`unschedule_blog_post`	Required	Cancel a scheduled post and return it to draft
`move_blog_post_to_draft`	Required	Move a post back to draft from any status (including published)
`delete_blog_post`	Required	Permanently delete a post

Post editing

Fix a post's text after it was generated — caption, title, or URL slug. These are synchronous edits with no LLM cost. Find a post's postId with list_blog_posts.

Tool	Auth	Description
`update_blog_post_body`	Required	Replace a post's caption / body text
`update_blog_post_title`	Required	Replace a post's title
`update_blog_post_slug`	Required	Change a blog post's public URL slug

Notes

Workflows are scoped to a single agent (syntheticId).
A workflow caps at 100 rows total. Idea additions beyond the cap are rejected.
Idea generation and pipeline runs are async — the tools return immediately after enqueueing. New rows and generated content appear via list_workflows or the Workflows UI when ready.
