Perplexity

Agent-driven tag management.

Assign an agent to handle content organization using `add_tags_to_entry`. This specialist agent can check all available labels via `list_tags` and apply the proper tags automatically. A second specialized agent can use `remove_tag_from_entry`, acting as a cleanup crew after another agent has finished its analysis.

Retrieve and annotate content in teams.

The Research Agent uses `create_entry` to save URLs, while the Analysis Agent then calls `get_entry` to pull the raw data. The Moderator Agent can follow up by calling `create_annotation` to log findings. This role-based specialization lets you build complex operations that require multiple steps.

Systematic article status updates.

One agent can run a routine check using `list_entries` to identify all articles. A separate Action Agent then iterates through this list, calling `mark_entry_read` or `mark_entry_favorite` based on predefined criteria. This hierarchical execution models a perfect content management pipeline.
