Search and verify Zoho CRM Admin profiles

The `zoho_list_profiles` tool lists every permission set available in your organization. When you index this data, you can query past sessions to ask questions like: 'What permissions did the Marketing profile have last month?' LlamaIndex turns raw API output into knowledge. You build RAG apps that let users ground their decisions in actual Zoho CRM Admin configuration data, not just general advice.

Analyze Zoho CRM Admin user activity and structure

Use `zoho_list_users` to gather all current team details: name, email, status, and role. Indexing this list allows you to query historical records—for example, tracking when a specific user was marked inactive or what their original profile was in Zoho CRM Admin. This is critical for compliance. Instead of just getting a live list, your agent searches the indexed data for patterns across the entire team.

Deep dive into Zoho CRM Admin layouts and territories

Need to understand record structure? The `zoho_list_layouts` tool provides the section and field arrangement. When you index this, you can combine it with territory data from `zoho_list_territories`. You query things like: 'Show me all modules where layouts are different for the EMEA vs. North America territories in Zoho CRM Admin.' The resulting knowledge base answers complex structural questions that simple API calls miss.
