FAQ

Questions Payload CMS owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I see all the available content types in my Payload instance?

    You can use the list_collections capability. Your agent will query your Payload instance and return a list of all registered collections and globals, helping you understand what data is available to interact with.

  • 02

    Is it possible to search for documents with specific criteria, like a slug or status?

    Yes! Use the find_documents capability. You can provide a collection name and filter parameters (e.g., where[slug][equals]=my-post). The agent will return the matching documents including their full metadata.

  • 03

    Can I retrieve the full data of a single document if I have its ID?

    Absolutely. Use the get_document capability by providing the collection name and the unique Document ID. This is perfect for inspecting deep nested relationships or specific field values.
