See how to talk to your AI agent using Directus.

Show me all collections in my Directus instance and the fields for the 'articles' collection.

Your Directus instance has 8 collections: 'articles' (24 fields), 'categories' (6 fields), 'authors' (12 fields), 'media' (8 fields), 'pages' (15 fields), 'settings' (10 fields), 'comments' (9 fields), and 'tags' (4 fields). Fields for 'articles': id (uuid), title (string), slug (string), body (text), status (string: draft/published/archived), featured_image (file), author (m2o → authors), category (m2o → categories), tags (m2m → tags), date_published (datetime), sort (integer). Would you like to list items or create a new article?

Create a new article titled 'AI in Healthcare 2025' with status 'draft' and search for existing articles about AI.

Article created! ID: a3f8c291, Title: 'AI in Healthcare 2025', Status: draft, Slug: ai-in-healthcare-2025. Searching existing articles for 'AI'... Found 3 matches: 1) 'AI-Driven Drug Discovery' (published, 2024-11-15). 2) 'Machine Learning in Diagnostics' (published, 2024-09-22). 3) 'AI Ethics Framework' (draft, 2025-01-08). Would you like to update the new article's body or assign it to an author?

Show me the recent activity log and list all users with their roles.

Recent activity (last 24h): 14 operations. Top actions: 8 item updates (articles, pages), 3 item creates (articles, media), 2 logins, 1 role change. Most active user: 'editor@example.com' (9 operations). Users: 1) Admin User (admin role, active). 2) Sarah Editor (editor role, active). 3) Mike Writer (writer role, active). 4) API Bot (api-readonly role, active). 3 roles configured: admin (full access), editor (content CRUD), writer (create/read only). Would you like to inspect a specific user or see more activity?

Yes! Use `create_item` with a collection name and JSON payload to add new items. Use `update_item` with the collection, item ID, and updated fields to modify existing items. Use `delete_item` to remove items. All operations respect the permissions assigned to your Static Token's user role.
