View Zoho Creator App Structure

The `list_applications` tool tells you every app built in your workspace. You can also run `list_workspaces` to see what creator environments are available. This helps you scope out where the data lives before writing any code.

Fetch and Modify Records

Need specific data? Use `get_record_details` with an ID, or pull a list of records from a report using `get_report_records`. If you find what you need, the `update_record` tool lets you change existing fields. It’s quick and keeps your agent in sync.

Understand Forms and Fields

Before creating anything, check the structure. The `get_form_fields` tool pulls definitions for any form. Similarly, `list_app_forms` lists all available forms across your apps. This lets you know exactly what fields are accepted when running `add_record`.
