Skip to main contentThe MCP Server includes pre-configured prompts (app/prompts/) designed to help Agents understand how to effectively use the DataDot toolset.
Discovery & Context
workspace_overview
Purpose: Contextual awareness.
Provides the agent with a high-level summary of the current workspace, including statistics, key file locations, and recent activity levels. It helps the agent “orient” itself before performing tasks or answering questions.
file_inspection
Purpose: File analysis guidance.
Guides the agent through inspecting workspace files. It outlines a workflow for listing all files, finding specific ones by name, and reading content to provide insights or recommendations on file organization and “pinned” status.
RAG & Retrieval
query_sse
Purpose: Retrieval guidance.
Instructs the agent on how to use the streaming RAG capabilities of query_content. It emphasizes waiting for the finalized answer, interpreting source citations, and synthesizing information from multiple chunks.
File Operations
upload_process
Purpose: Upload workflow.
A step-by-step guide for uploading and processing documents. It instructs the agent to handle file reception, upload via upload_file, optional custom processing, and verification of the upload success.
deletion_safety
Purpose: Safety guardrails.
Used as a pre-check before a delete_file operation. It acts as a critical safety mechanism, instructing the agent to:
- Verify the file exists.
- Explain the irreversible nature of deletion.
- Require explicit user confirmation (often asking them to type the filename) before proceeding.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
embedding_refresh
Purpose: Maintenance workflow.
Guides the process of refreshing workspace embeddings. Because this can be a long-running operation, it instructs the agent to check current status, warn the user about the time required, and verify completion stats.
troubleshooting
Purpose: Diagnostic support.
Provides a knowledge base of common issues (e.g., search failures, upload errors) and their solutions. It lists diagnostic tools like check_embeddings and search_files to help the agent diagnose workspace health problems.
Using Prompts
Agents typically request these prompts during their initialization phase or when switching contexts to set their system instructions (System Prompt).
