Agent Knowledge Overview

Tool ID: agent_knowledge_overview

Summary

Lists the knowledge sources available to your account (such as FAQ), what each source contains, which fields can be searched, and which fields can be created or edited.

When to use it

  • First time using Agent Knowledge — See what data your AI can access before searching or editing.
  • Before creating or updating entries — Learn which fields are required and what they mean.
  • When edit fails — If the AI reports an "unknown field" error, check the overview for the correct field names.
  • Explore new sources — Your administrator may add sources beyond FAQ; this tool shows what is available.

What you need

Requirement Required?
Metraclick connection Yes
Tool enabled for your account Yes
Agent Knowledge database credentials No

This tool reads the catalog of sources only. It does not query your database.

Parameters

Parameter Required? Description
include No List of specific source keys to show (for example ["faq"]). If omitted, all sources are listed.

What you get back

A list of sources, each with:

Field Meaning
source Short key used by search and edit (e.g. faq)
description Plain-language explanation of what the source holds
search_columns Fields the Search tool looks through
writable Fields you can set when creating or updating entries
editable Whether this source allows create/update/delete

For the FAQ source, writable fields are typically question and answer (both required when creating a new entry).

Tips

  • Start here for edits — Before creating or updating entries, ask for the overview so the AI knows the correct field names.
  • No database needed — This tool works even if search/edit credentials are not set up yet; use it to understand what will be available once configuration is complete.
  • Next step — Use Search to find entries, or Edit to add or change them.
