# Workflows

> Everyday tasks you can ask an AI assistant to do in Lexful through MCP.

Once Lexful is connected, ask for what you want in plain language. Your assistant picks the tools. The prompts below are examples, along with the tools an assistant typically uses for each.

Every tool works within your Lexful role and organization access: you only see and change what you could in Lexful itself.

## Find information

> What's the admin URL for Acme's firewall?

The assistant finds the organization with `search_organizations`, then searches its assets with `search_assets` or, if it doesn't know which type holds the answer, `search_all_assets`. Passwords and other secure values are never returned.

> How do I reset the VPN for Contoso? Check our runbooks.

`search_all_assets` searches document text and indexed file content. `get_asset_field` and `get_asset_file_content` read the full document or file.

> How many servers do we have per operating system?

`aggregate_assets` counts and groups assets without loading them all.

## Update documentation

> Set the warranty end date on Acme's three Dell servers to 2027-03-31.

The assistant finds the servers with `search_assets` and changes them with `update_asset`.

> Link the Acme firewall to its ISP contract.

`manage_related_assets` adds the relationship, which then shows on both assets' Relationships tab.

> Who changed the Contoso domain controller last week, and what did it look like before?

`list_asset_revisions` shows who changed it and when, and `get_asset_revision` reads an earlier version.

## Organize with tags

> Create a "Backups" tag under "Infrastructure" and tag all of Acme's NAS devices with it.

`get_tag_tree` or `search_tags` checks the tag doesn't already exist and finds the parent. `create_tag` creates it, and `manage_asset_tags` assigns it.

> Tag Acme, Contoso and Northwind with "Priority support".

`search_organizations` finds the organizations, and `manage_organization_tags` adds the tag.

## Manage organizations

> Add a new client called Northwind, type Customer, status Active.

`list_organization_options` finds the type and status, and `create_organization` creates it.

> We've offboarded Fabrikam. Delete the organization.

`delete_organization` deletes it, and `restore_organization` brings it back if needed.

## Shape asset types

> Add a "Rack location" text field to our Server type.

`get_asset_types` reads the current fields, and `add_asset_type_property` adds the new one.

> Create a "Software license" asset type with a vendor, seat count and renewal date, and a link to the Contract it falls under.

`create_asset_type` creates the type with its properties and references in one step.

Before letting an assistant make changes, check that your client asks you to approve tool calls. Lexful itself doesn't ask for confirmation over MCP; see [Access and licensing](https://developer.lexful.ai/mcp/tools.md#access-and-licensing).
