## What this connects

Algolia is a hosted search API that provides developers with tools to build fast and relevant search experiences for their applications.

Vendor: https://www.algolia.com

## Tools available

**127** tools available. First 12:

- `ALGOLIA_ADD_AB_TEST` — Add AB Test — Tool to create an A/B test comparing search performance between two index variants. Use when you need to test different search configurations, ranking strategies, or index settings and measure their impact on user behavior.
- `ALGOLIA_ADD_OR_REPLACE_RECORD` — Add or Replace Record — Tool to add or replace a specific record in an index by objectID. If a record with the given objectID exists, it is replaced; otherwise, a new record is created. Use when you need to upsert an object with a known ID.
- `ALGOLIA_ADD_RECORD` — Add Record to Index — Tool to add a record to an index with auto-generated objectID. Records with matching IDs are replaced. Use when you need to insert a new object into an index.
- `ALGOLIA_BROWSE_INDEX` — Browse Algolia Index — Tool to retrieve all records from an index. Use when you need to export or iterate through an entire index dataset.
- `ALGOLIA_CLEAR_OBJECTS` — Clear Objects — Tool to clear records of an index without affecting settings. Use when you need to completely wipe all objects (e.g., after a bulk reindex) while preserving index configuration.
- `ALGOLIA_CLEAR_RULES` — Clear Rules — Tool to delete all rules in an index. Use when you need to wipe all rules before re-creating them. Use after confirming no critical rules require retention.
- `ALGOLIA_CLEAR_SYNONYMS` — Clear Synonyms — Tool to delete all synonyms from an index. Use when you need to remove all synonym definitions in one operation.
- `ALGOLIA_CLICKED_OBJECT_IDS` — Clicked Object IDs — Tool to send a click event to Algolia to capture clicked items. Use immediately after a user click outside of search contexts to report click events.
- `ALGOLIA_CLICKED_OBJECT_IDS_AFTER_SEARCH` — Clicked Object IDs After Search — Tool to send a click event after a search response. Use when you want to report which items a user clicked in search results.
- `ALGOLIA_COMPUTE_REALTIME_USER` — Compute Realtime User Profile — Tool to compute a user's real-time personalization profile in Algolia. Use when you need to trigger calculation of personalization data for a specific user. Note: This endpoint is deprecated.
- `ALGOLIA_CONVERTED_OBJECT_IDS` — Converted Object IDs — Tool to send a conversion event for items outside of search context. Use when tracking conversions on category pages or external flows unrelated to Algolia search.
- `ALGOLIA_COPY_INDEX` — Copy Index — Tool to copy the specified index to a new index. Use when you need to duplicate an existing index including records, settings, synonyms, and rules after confirming source and destination names.

## How agents use Algolia

Inside a Definable workflow, Algolia is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Algolia** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Algolia (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Algolia** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Algolia (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Algolia** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Algolia (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Algolia call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
