Quick Walkthrough: Explore → Build → Populate
Every workflow starts with schema discovery. Before creating collections, fields, or items, always call schema {} first to understand what already exists. This prevents duplicate collections, reveals existing field names, and ensures correct dependency ordering.
1. Explore the Instance (always do this first)
Tool: schema
Input: {}
2. Inspect a Collection
Tool: schema
Input: { "keys": ["posts"] }
3. Create a New Collection
Tool: collections
Input: {
"action": "create",
"data": [{
"collection": "projects",
"schema": {},
"meta": { "icon": "work", "display_template": "{{name}}" }
}]
}
4. Add Fields
Tool: fields
Input: {
"action": "create",
"collection": "projects",
"data": [
{ "field": "name", "type": "string", "meta": { "interface": "input" }, "schema": { "is_nullable": false } },
{ "field": "description", "type": "text", "meta": { "interface": "input-rich-text-md" } },
{ "field": "status", "type": "string", "meta": { "interface": "select-dropdown", "options": { "choices": [{"text": "Active", "value": "active"}, {"text": "Completed", "value": "completed"}] } }, "schema": { "default_value": "active" } }
]
}
5. Create Items
Tool: items
Input: {
"action": "create",
"collection": "projects",
"data": [
{ "name": "Website Redesign", "description": "Complete overhaul of company website", "status": "active" },
{ "name": "Mobile App", "description": "iOS and Android app development", "status": "active" }
]
}
6. Query Items
Tool: items
Input: {
"action": "read",
"collection": "projects",
"query": {
"filter": { "status": { "_eq": "active" } },
"sort": ["name"]
}
}
