FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete wiki pages or files?

    No. The AI can only read logs, list attachments, and check status. It cannot modify or delete your content.

  • 02

    Can I use this to change user permissions?

    No. The available tools are read-only for auditing and status checks. You must manage permissions manually in BookStack.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my login password?

    No. Your connection is managed securely, and the AI only interacts with the data exposed by the tools.

  • 04

    Can the AI tell me why a file was uploaded?

    It can show you the audit log entry for the upload, but it cannot interpret the intent behind the action.

  • 05

    The AI only checks the status when you specifically ask it to via a prompt.
