Can it search for specific file types like PDFs or PNGs?

Absolutely. Through the `list_assets` capability, the AI can parse queries finding exactly what format you need among your organization's total index.

Can the AI return download links for an asset?

Yes. Upon locating an asset, you can ask the AI to provide the CDN URL representing the final high-resolution source file directly in the chat.

Is my API token secure during the requests?

Yes. The API Token is encrypted at rest and dynamically injected strictly at the runtime limit inside a secure sandbox container. Keys are never exposed within chat interactions.

Brandfolder + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Brandfolder MCP Server with Pydantic AI.

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
