Short answer

Can I ask my AI who is available to work?

Yes. Your AI pulls your current staff and equipment lists to see who is free. You'll get a clear list of available resources for your next task.

Where your data goes

The AI pulls data from your directory to provide these specific outcomes.

STAFF

Available personnel

The AI identifies team members with open slots. You get a list of names ready for assignment.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI assign a person to a task for me?

    No. The AI only reads the resource list to tell you who is free. You must perform the actual assignment yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI update my schedule when I talk to it?

    No. This specific task is read-only. The AI can see your resources, but it cannot change their status or move appointments.

  • 03

    Can I check availability for specific dates?

    Yes. If your directory includes date-based scheduling, you can ask about specific days or weeks.

  • 04

    What happens if a resource is listed but not actually free?

    The AI only reports what is explicitly marked as available in your directory. It cannot guess if someone is busy if the data says they are free.

  • 05

    Can the AI see my private notes on staff members?

    The AI only sees the data provided through the list_resources tool. It cannot access any other files or private documents.
