Short answer

How can I use AI to organize my multi-tenant structure?

Your AI uses Userfront tools to create new tenants, nest child tenants under parents, and update existing structures. You get a fully organized hierarchy without manual database entries. The following breakdown shows how your agent handles these operations.

Where every change lands.

Tenant organization outcomes

The AI maps your requests to specific Userfront actions to keep your hierarchy clean.

STRUCTURE

Nested hierarchies

The AI builds parent and child relationships. You get a logical tree of tenants ready for use.

DATA

Tenant information

Your agent pulls specific tenant details or lists all active tenants. You get the exact data you need for your logic.

MODIFICATION

Updated settings

The AI changes tenant properties or deletes old entries. Your environment stays current with your requirements.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide when to trigger deletions or major structural shifts. The AI waits for your command before making permanent changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

Your agent translates your natural language instructions into direct Userfront API calls.

  1. Identify the structure

    The AI looks up existing tenants to understand where a new child should live. This ensures the hierarchy stays intact.

    find_tenantsget_tenant

  2. Build the hierarchy

    The agent creates the top-level organization or nests a new tenant under a parent. This builds your multi-tenant tree.

    create_tenantcreate_child_tenant

  3. Modify existing tenants

    If a tenant's configuration changes, the AI updates the record. This keeps your settings in sync with your needs.

    update_tenant

  4. Clean up data

    When a tenant is no longer needed, the AI removes it from the system. This prevents stale data from cluttering your environment.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI create tenants automatically?

    Yes, the AI uses the create_tenant and create_child_tenant tools to build new structures based on your instructions.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my tenants without asking?

    No. While the AI has the capability to delete tenants, it only performs that action when you explicitly tell it to do so.

  • 03

    Can the AI see my user passwords?

    No. The AI only has access to the specific tenant management tools provided in the manifest.

  • 04

    Can the AI change my billing settings?

    No. The available tools are limited to tenant creation, retrieval, updates, and deletion.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which tenant is a parent?

    The AI uses the find_tenants and get_tenant tools to inspect the existing hierarchy before it attempts to create or move tenants.
