Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• add_attachment

  Adds a new attachment to a piece of content. To update an existing attachment instead, use the create or update attachments operation. Requires X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck header to prevent XSRF attacks.

• add_content_restrictions

  Adds access restrictions to a piece of content. This operation appends new restrictions without modifying any existing ones. Requires permission to edit the target content.

• add_labels_to_content

  Adds one or more labels to existing content without removing previously assigned labels. This operation is additive and preserves all existing labels on the content.

• add_user_to_group

  Adds a user as a member to a group by its groupId. Requires site admin permissions.

  Apply a theme to a Confluence space. Requires 'Admin' permission for the space. To reset to the default theme, use the reset_space_theme operation instead.

• archive_pages

  Archives a list of pages by their content IDs. The archival process is asynchronous; use the /longtask/<taskId> endpoint to monitor progress.

• check_content_restriction_for_user

  Checks whether a specific content restriction applies to a user. Returns true if the restriction is enforced for that user, though this does not guarantee access due to inherited restrictions, space permissions, or product access levels.

  Check whether a user is watching a specific piece of content. Requires 'Confluence Administrator' permission if checking another user's status, otherwise only 'Can use' permission is needed.

• check_group_content_restriction

  Checks whether a content restriction applies to a specific group. Returns true if the group has the specified restriction (read or update) on the content, though this does not guarantee group access due to other permission factors.

• check_label_watch_status

  Check whether a user is watching a specific label in Confluence. If no user is specified, the currently logged-in user is checked.

• check_relationship

  Check whether a specific relationship exists between two entities. Relationships are directional, so the source and target entities matter. For example, you can check if a user has marked a page as a favorite.

• check_space_watch_status

  Check whether a user is watching a specific space. Identifies the user via account ID query parameter or uses the currently logged-in user if not specified.
