Confluence Read

Confluence data access instructions

Search and fetch Confluence Cloud pages, returning content as Markdown.

Inputs

• Search query text, or a Confluence page URL / page ID
• Environment variables: ATLASSIAN_URL, ATLASSIAN_EMAIL, ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN

Workflow

1) Verify environment variables

Ensure all required variables are set. Never output or log token values. If missing, ask the user to set them before calling the API.

Variables: ATLASSIAN_URL, ATLASSIAN_EMAIL, ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN

2) Identify the intent

• Search: the user wants to find pages by keyword, optionally within a space.
• Fetch: the user provides a specific page ID or URL and wants its content.

3) Run the appropriate script

Search pages

python scripts/search.py <QUERY> [--space SPACEKEY] [--limit N]

Returns a JSON array of matching pages with title, URL, excerpt, and rendered Markdown body. Default limit is 10.

Fetch a single page

python scripts/fetch_page.py <PAGE_ID_OR_URL> [--children]

Accepts a numeric page ID or a full Confluence page URL. Returns JSON with the page title, labels, rendered Markdown body, and metadata.

Pass --children to include a list of child pages (title and URL only).

4) Present results

• Use the body_markdown field to show page content.
• Summarize or quote as appropriate for the user's request.

Notes

• Read-only operation: do not alter page data unless explicitly authorized.
• Never log or output secrets -- reference environment variable names only.
• ADF rendering is handled by the shared jira.py renderer.
