Can my AI agent write complex GROQ queries for me?

Yes. If you know what data you want but aren't totally familiar with GROQ syntax, you can simply ask your agent: 'Write and execute a GROQ query to find all author documents where the name starts with John and return just their ID and bio.' The agent will draft the query, execute it via the `run_groq_query` tool, and return the filtered JSON.

How do I perform a bulk update on my documents?

You can ask your agent to first fetch the documents (e.g., 'List all posts missing a category'), calculate the changes needed, and then use the `run_raw_mutation` tool or `patch_cms_document` iteratively to apply the updates. This acts as a conversational migration script, updating dozens of documents safely and quickly.

Can the agent check if media assets are missing from my posts?

Yes. The agent can use the document querying tools combined with `list_media_assets` to analyze your content. For instance, you can ask it to generate a report of all products that do not have an associated image reference, giving you an exact list of items to fix in the Studio.
