Short answer

How can my AI tell if I'm using the right file version?

Your AI uses Fluxiom to pull the complete version history of any asset. It compares timestamps and metadata to confirm if the file you have is the most recent one. You'll see exactly how it handles these checks below.

The results of a version check.

What you get from your AI.

Once the AI has access to your file history, it provides these specific outcomes.

CONFIRMATION

Latest version verified

The AI checks the version list and tells you if your current file is the most recent one. You get a clear yes or no.

HISTORY

Full audit trail

The AI pulls the sequence of changes and timestamps. You can see exactly when each iteration was saved.

DISCREPANCY

Outdated file alert

If a newer version exists, the AI flags it immediately. This prevents you from working on stale data.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If version names are ambiguous, the AI will ask you to pick the correct one. You stay in control of the final choice.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about versions.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of digging through file metadata so you don't have to.

  1. Locate the asset

    The AI finds the specific file you are talking about within your storage.

    get_asset

  2. Retrieve history

    The AI pulls a list of every version that has ever been saved for that file.

    get_asset_versions

  3. Compare metadata

    The AI looks at the timestamps and version IDs to find the most recent entry.

    get_asset_versions

  4. Report findings

    The AI tells you if your version matches the latest one or if a newer one is waiting.

    get_asset

FAQ

How version checking behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically overwrite an old file with a new one?

    No. The AI only reads version history. You have to manually perform any file updates or overwrites yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete old versions to save space?

    No. The AI has no capability to delete files or versions. It only retrieves existing data.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which file I'm talking about?

    It uses the asset information to identify the specific file in your connected storage.

  • 04

    Can the AI see files in folders I haven't connected?

    No. The AI can only access files within the specific storage locations you have authorized through the MCP.

  • 05

    Will the AI tell me who changed a file?

    Yes, if that metadata is included in the version history provided by the tool.
