The Confluence operations Claude can run

6 operations: 4 Read and 2 Write. Available tools depend on your connection and permissions. Review any action that changes or removes data. Claude discovers these operations through the ApexGenius gateway.

confluence_list_spacesReadList the spaces available to the connected account.
confluence_search_pagesReadSearch pages by title or keywords.
confluence_list_pagesReadList pages inside a selected space.
confluence_get_pageReadRead one page and its current body.
confluence_create_pageWriteCreate a Confluence page from supplied Markdown content.
confluence_update_pageWriteUpdate an existing page using its current version number.

Questions people ask first

Which Confluence spaces can an agent reach?

The spaces the authorizing account can already reach. ApexGenius never widens access beyond the permissions the account has in Confluence.

Can an agent publish or overwrite a page?

Write operations exist and can be switched off per connection. Anything that overwrites or removes content is marked destructive and queues for approval.

Is page content stored by ApexGenius?

The ordinary MCP path does not intentionally retain page content. Connection, usage, and audit records are retained so you can review what ran.

Can I give one agent read-only access to Confluence?

Yes. Scope that client to read-only and the write operations never appear in its tool list at all.
