Handle user signups and logins.

Need to test a new account flow? Your AI client runs `signup_user` to create an initial profile, then uses `signin_user` immediately after. This lets you verify the full authentication lifecycle without touching any backend console. If you need to simulate a session expiry or check current credentials, run `create_session` and later use `remove_session`. It’s fast, and it gives you immediate confirmation that the user object was correctly created.

Control roles and permissions.

The server lets your agent manage who can do what. You call `assign_role_to_user` to give a specific role, or use `create_or_update_role` if that role doesn't exist yet. This is great for PMs checking access flows without needing developer input. Want to see what permissions someone has? Just run `list_user_roles`. You can also check every single available permission by running `list_roles` first.

Access and update user data.

You don't need a database GUI to check records. Use the server's tools: run `get_user` with an ID to pull basic details, or use `get_user_metadata` for extra info. This is perfect for troubleshooting when you just need live API data. If a user changes their name or needs new profile fields, simply call `update_user_metadata`. It keeps the user object fresh and accurate right in your chat window.
