Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I change feature flags using my AI?

Yes. You can use your AI to check current flag states, list all available settings, or update specific values and targeting rules. This allows you to manage your rollout logic directly from your development environment or chat client.

The outcomes

What you can manage.

Your agent handles the heavy lifting in the ConfigCat dashboard.

READ

Check flag status

Your agent uses the available tools to pull current values. You'll know exactly which features are live for which users.

UPDATE

Flip feature switches

Change a flag from off to on instantly. The agent updates the value in ConfigCat so your changes take effect immediately.

AUDIT

List all settings

Get a full overview of your environment. The agent pulls a list of all settings so you can see your entire configuration at once.

HUMAN

Review complex rules

The AI handles the data changes, but you decide when a major rollout is safe. You remain the final authority on deployment logic.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a change.

The agent translates your intent into specific API calls to ConfigCat.

  1. Identify the flag

    The agent looks through your existing configuration to find the specific setting you want to change.

    list_settings

  2. Verify current state

    Before making a change, the agent checks the current value to ensure it's acting on the right data.

    get_setting_value

  3. Apply the update

    The agent pushes the new value or targeting rule to ConfigCat based on your instruction.

    update_setting_value

  4. Confirm success

    The agent checks the updated value one last time to confirm the change was applied correctly.

    get_setting_value
