FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete files from my library?

    No. The AI only has tools to search, get, and update metadata. It cannot delete assets.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my folder structure?

    No. The AI is limited to modifying the metadata of the assets themselves, not moving or deleting folders.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which file to update?

    It uses the search tool to find the file first, then uses the specific asset ID to target the update.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.

  • 05

    Does the AI see my actual images?

    The AI interacts with the metadata and file information provided by the tools, not the raw pixel data of the images.
