WebCake Storefront

Append ONE section to a local page draft (NO network — this is the durable per-section cache step that can't time out). The section is re-id'd to avoid collisions and quick-validated; warnings are surfaced but never block. Build the section with new_section.

Append a section to an EXISTING page's source. Reads the current source, appends your section, validates, and (when dry_run=false) saves. The section is re-id'd to avoid collisions. Build it with new_section. Two-step safety: dry_run=true (default) previews; dry_run=false saves.

Append or prepend code to a custom code field WITHOUT reading the existing content first. Use this when you need to ADD new CSS rules, JS code, or script tags — no need to read first. For full rewrites, use update_site_custom_code instead.

Create a brand-new page AND set its full content source in one step. Two-step safety: call with dry_run=true (default) to validate and preview, then dry_run=false to actually create + save. The source must be { sections: [...] } — build sections with new_section. Validation errors block the real save.

Delete a local page draft (does NOT delete any backend page already created from it).

Persist a local page draft to the backend INCREMENTALLY (one section per request, 120s timeout each) so no single huge request can time out. dry_run=true (default) validates the assembled page and previews stats. dry_run=false creates the page then appends sections one at a time, saving progress after each. RESUMABLE: if a request fails mid-commit, the draft keeps its page_id + committed_count — just call commit_page_draft again to continue from where it stopped.

Get order count grouped by status. Useful for dashboard overview

Create a blog article so blog/post pages (post-list, grid-blog, post-overlay) have content. Built via the dashboard command pipeline: title + optional summary, HTML content, image URLs, and category linkage. Pass category_ids from create_blog_category / list articles' categories so the post shows up under those categories (it is also auto-filed under the default category). Image URLs must be hosted (search_images / upload_images). The backend generates the id and slug.

Create a blog/article category. Returns the new category id — pass it to create_article's category_id so posts are grouped (post-list / blog pages bind to it). Image must be a hosted URL.

Create a new CMS file. Types: "http_function", "jobs_config", "default"

Create a new collection (custom data TABLE). It starts with the system columns (id/inserted_at/updated_at/creator_id); pass `columns` to add custom fields. NOTE: to WRITE records into it, use an HTTP function (webcake-data: db.model(table).create({...})) — the dashboard has no direct record-insert API. See get_http_function for the SDK guide.

Create a reusable global section (Header / Footer / shared block) the way the builder does: persists a global_section record AND embeds the same section node into page sources so it actually renders across the site (header → top of every page, footer → bottom). Build the section first with new_section (give it a real bg/padding + logo/menu/links), then pass it here. Two-step safety: dry_run=true (default) previews which pages change; dry_run=false performs the atomic save.

Create a new global source component. Component types: "cart-droppable" (cart), "popup", or any custom type.

Create a new (empty) page. For a page with content use build_page instead. type is a KIND (main/store/member/blog/custom/error/maintain) mapped to the numeric backend type; pass seo so it doesn't publish with an empty title.

Create a product so the storefront has real merchandise (grid-product / slider-product bindings need this). Simple use: pass name + price (+ images, category_ids). One default variation with the price/stock is created for you. Advanced use: pass attributes (e.g. Color/Size) + variations for a multi-SKU product. Images must be HOSTED URLs — get them from search_images or upload_images first. The backend generates id, slug and publishes the product.

Create a product category (so grid-category / a category page has something to show, and products can be filed under it). Returns the new category id — pass it to create_product's category_ids. Image must be a hosted URL.

Create a brand-new storefront site for the current account, then (by default) switch to it and return an EMPTY, CLEAN site (no sample products/categories) ready for element composition. The backend auto-seeds off-theme sample products + categories (and a sample blog); by default this tool DELETES that seed right after creating the site (keep the non-deletable default "All" category) so you start from a blank, on-theme store. Pass keep_seed:true to keep the sample data. The site has NO pages — after this, compose a homepage from elements: get_build_guide → new_section/new_element → build_page (type:'main', is_homepage:true). Note: free accounts are limited to 4 sites (creation fails with a quota error past that).

Create a NEW site from a marketplace TEMPLATE (the dedicated "use this template" API). Clones the template's pages, global sections, cart, popups, styles and fonts into a fresh site. Pick a template with semantic_search_themes / list_template_themes, then pass its theme_id here. Switches to the new site so you can immediately edit layout/content with update_page_element(s), colours/fonts via the site-style tools, then publish_site.

Run JS code in debug mode (without deploying). Returns execution result and console logs

Delete a blog article

Delete a collection (table) and all its records by id. Irreversible.

Delete a global section (Header/Footer/block) and remove its node from every page source. Two-step safety: dry_run=true (default) shows which pages would change; dry_run=false performs the atomic save.

Delete a global source and its published version

Delete a page

Delete one or more products by id.

Delete one or more product categories by id.

Edit the HTTP function file by function name — best for targeted changes (fix a bug, rename, add one function). For writing multiple new functions or major refactors, use update_http_function with full content instead. Actions: - "replace_function": replace an ENTIRE function by name with new code. Server finds function boundaries automatically. - "add": append new function code at end of file. - "remove": remove a function by name. - "update_imports": replace the import block (lines before first export). Returns updated function list after edit.

One-shot helper for filling image_alt across the site. Returns image bytes + element metadata in a single response so Claude can describe everything in one pass, then call set_image_alts once. Workflow: 1. Call this tool with scope/limit. 2. Tool returns each image inline with its element_id + source_type + source_id. 3. Claude reads images, drafts an alt for each, then calls set_image_alts(items) once with the template at the end of the response. The pre-built "items" template at the end contains placeholders — fill in "alt" and call set_image_alts.

Find a customer by ID, phone number, or email

Get all currently active promotions (is_activated=true and within start_time/end_time range)

Get one installed app by its type code (returns null if not installed). App type codes: 0=product_review, 1=articles_review, 2=automation, 3=telegram, 4=affiliates, 5=multilingual, 6=appointment, 7=send_email, 8=botcake, 9=sale_channel, 10=product_design, 11=auth_otp, 12=personal_product_design, 14=course, 15=zalo_mini_app, 16=cms, 17=recaptcha, 18=pwa. You may pass the number or the name.

Get article details by ID

Get the BuilderX page authoring guide: page shape, the grid layout model, styling, breakpoints, forms/data, and the build workflow. Read this before building or heavily editing a page.

Get a specific collection's details including full schema (field names, types, constraints, references) and records

Get items (products/variations) and bonus products that compose a combo. Returns combo_items (required items with count) and bonus_items (free gifts)

Show current connection context: which site_id, API URL, session, and account info. Call this first to confirm you're working on the right site

Get the full detail of an element type: category, container flag, summary, an ATTRIBUTES reference (the meaningful specials/config keys + their purpose/allowed values, events, and dataset binding targets), and a live skeleton node (the authoritative default shape) you can copy and edit. Read this before authoring/editing an element so you set the right keys.

View version history of a CMS file. Each version includes its saved content — to restore, pass that content back to update_http_function (the http_function file) or update_cms_file, or use restore_file_version.

Get one global section as a COMPACT tree (3-5x fewer tokens than raw JSON). Each line: ID [type] "text" .class [Nbind] [Nev] (children_count). Use this to learn how a real Header/Footer/block is composed before building your own.

Get full detail (style, config, specials, events, bindings, responsive bp1..bp4, children IDs) of a single element inside a global section.

Get multilingual contents for global sources by component type

Get full detail of a global source — compact tree view showing all elements. Each line: ID [type] "text" .class [events] [bindings] (children_count). Provide component for faster lookup; omit if you already called list_global_sources.

Get full detail of a single element (style, config, specials, events, bindings, responsive, children).

Get the main HTTP function file. Choose the right mode for your task: - overview=true: function names + line ranges only, NO code body. Use for: browsing, understanding structure, finding which function to read. - overview=false (DEFAULT): full code + collection schemas. Use for: writing new features, refactoring, understanding full context. Tip: for small fixes, use overview first then get_http_function_snippet to read just that function. Add include_guide=true on first call to get the coding guide

Read specific function(s) by name. Much more token-efficient than reading the full file

Get the INTAKE questionnaire + build flow to run BEFORE creating a new site/store/page. Call this at the start of any fresh build: ask the user this one short batch (plain words, with defaults), restate the plan, get a yes, THEN build. Skip only for tiny edits, data questions, or when the user already gave the brief / says 'just do it'.

Get full order details by ID: customer info, items, payment, shipping, discounts, etc.

Inspect a local page draft: its meta, the section ids, total section count, and (if a commit is in progress) the page_id + committed_count.

Get full detail of a single element by its ID (e.g. 'TEXT-3', 'BUTTON-1', 'SECTION-2'). Returns style, config, specials, events, bindings, responsive, and children IDs

Get the authoritative JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12) for a page source `{ sections: [...] }` — the structural contract for every node (id/type/specials/runtime{style,config}/children/events/bindings) in the CSS-grid model. Use it as the shape to emit; validate_page enforces the semantic rules.
