Short answer

Can I audit my Brandfolder collections with AI?

Yes. Your AI uses the Brandfolder MCP to pull your organization's structure and specific asset lists. You'll get a clear view of what's in your collections and where things belong.

Where every issue lands.

Audit outcomes

The AI processes your request and organizes the findings into these categories.

STRUCTURE

Collection maps

The AI maps out your organization's hierarchy. You get a clear outline of how your folders and collections are nested.

INVENTORY

Asset counts

Your agent pulls a list of every file in a specific collection. This helps you see exactly what you have without clicking through every folder.

ERRORS

Missing files

The AI compares expected assets against what's actually in the collection. It flags items that are missing or incorrectly placed.

HUMAN

Manual cleanup

The AI identifies the problems but doesn't move files. You'll need to log in to Brandfolder to perform the actual deletions or moves.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of scanning your library so you don't have to.

  1. Identify orgs

    The AI finds your Brandfolder account and its associated organizations to establish context.

  2. Scan collections

    The agent looks into the specific collection you're interested in to see what's inside.

    get_collection_assets

  3. Analyze contents

    Your AI compares the asset metadata against your audit criteria to find discrepancies.

    get_collection_assets

  4. Report findings

    The agent summarizes the structure and lists any assets that don't match your requirements.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete files in Brandfolder?

    No. The AI can only read and list your assets. You must perform any deletions or file movements manually in the Brandfolder interface.

  • 02

    Can the AI move assets between collections?

    No. The AI identifies where assets should go, but it does not have the capability to move or reorganize files for you.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which organization to look at?

    The AI uses the list of available organizations to find the right context for your request.

  • 04

    Does the AI see all my files at once?

    No. The AI only accesses the specific collections or organizations you ask it to look at.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as your client is MCP-compatible, like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
