Can I manually enroll a student in a course using the AI?

Yes! Use the `enroll_user` tool. Provide the User ID and the Course ID to instantly create a new enrollment for that student in your Thinkific academy.

How do I see the full list of registered students?

Run the `list_users` query. You can optionally use the `page` and `limit` parameters to navigate through your entire student directory.

Is it possible to check recent revenue or orders via AI?

Absolutely. Use the `list_orders` query. Your agent will retrieve the history of all transactions and orders processed through your Thinkific site.
