Short answer

How can I audit media and access with my AI?

Your AI client uses Sanity tools to pull lists of image assets and user memberships. You can then ask it to find specific files or confirm if a person belongs to a project. This gives you a clear view of your library and permission levels.

Audit outcomes

Where your audit data lands

The AI organizes Sanity data into these specific results.

ASSET FINDING

Locate specific images

The AI scans your library to find files based on your descriptions. You get a direct list of matching assets without manual scrolling.

PERMISSION CHECKS

Verify user access

Your agent checks project membership to see who is authorized for specific tasks. This confirms if a user has the right permissions.

DATA SUMMARY

Get library overviews

The AI aggregates asset counts and user lists into a readable format. You can quickly see the scale of your media or your user base.

HUMAN REVIEW

Flag access issues

The AI identifies discrepancies between expected and actual permissions. You then decide if you need to revoke or grant access manually.
