Can I search for assets using specific categories through the agent?

Yes. The `search_widen_assets` tool supports Widen's internal search syntax. You can use 'cat:' followed by the category name or ID to filter your search results to a specific folder or organizational node.

How do I get the direct public URL for an image to use on my website?

You can use the `list_cdn_embed_links` tool. Provide the unique asset ID, and your AI agent will return all active CDN embed links and HTML snippets (like iFrame tags) available for that file.

Is it possible to update an asset's description via chat?

Absolutely. Use the `update_asset_metadata` tool. Provide the asset ID and a JSON object containing the field updates (e.g., `{ 'description': 'New project photo' }`), and your agent will apply the changes instantly.
