The outcomes.

Where your commands land.

Every request you send to your AI results in a specific action within FusionAuth.

USER DATA

Profile updates

The AI modifies user metadata or contact info. You get updated records in FusionAuth immediately.

GROUPS

Membership changes

Your agent moves users in and out of groups. This keeps your access control synced via chat.

IDENTITY

New account setup

The AI builds new user profiles from scratch. It handles the initial creation logic for you.

MANUAL

Human oversight

Complex security audits or bulk migrations require you to log in to the FusionAuth dashboard directly.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

Your agent translates your natural language into specific API calls.

  1. Identify the user

    The AI looks up the specific account you're talking about to ensure it has the right ID.

    get_user

  2. Modify the profile

    The agent applies changes to user attributes or metadata based on your instructions.

    update_userpatch_user

  3. Adjust permissions

    The AI adds or removes users from specific groups to manage their access levels.

    add_group_memberremove_group_member

  4. Clean up accounts

    If you tell the AI to remove someone, it executes the deletion of that user or group.

    delete_userdelete_group

    No. The tools are limited to user and group administration; they cannot touch global FusionAuth configurations.
