Can the agent query and filter records using Airtable native formulas?

Yes! The AI agent understands Airtable's native `filterByFormula` parameter. You can ask it to "Find all records where Status is 'Done' and Priority is 'High'", and it will translate your request into the exact Airatble formula required to fetch only that data.

How do I ensure the agent adds data to the correct columns?

Before writing, the agent will typically fetch the schema of the Table to understand the exact column spelling, ID, and data type (like Checkbox, Formula, or Single Select). You just need to say "Add a new row for John Doe with Status Lead", and it will align the values to the existing column structure.

If my base has tens of thousands of records, will it hallucinate?

No. The integration paginates large queries to ensure accurate results. If you ask a broad open question on a 50,000-row base, the agent will gracefully fetch the data in chunks and summarize the response using the actual API output.
