Query Live Support Cases

The `zoho_search_cases` tool lets you find specific support records. By indexing these results, your agent can answer questions about customer issues based on real-time data, not just general knowledge. You build RAG applications where the output from `zoho_list_cases` or a search query grounds the final answer in actual case details.

Ground KB Articles

When documenting solutions, use `zoho_create_solution`. LlamaIndex indexes the resulting article content (title, question, and answer) into your vector store. This makes every piece of documentation searchable by semantic meaning. You can then query this indexed knowledge base to find documented answers before an agent creates a new solution.

Audit Documentation Index

To check existing articles, you use `zoho_list_solutions`. This tool provides the title and status of all solutions. When indexed, this allows your application to understand which documents are Drafts versus Published. This mechanism lets developers query the state of the knowledge base directly from API data.
