## Tools available

**10** tools available. First 10:

- `KNACK_CREATE_OBJECT_RECORD` — Create object record — Tool to create a new record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to add new data to a Knack database object. Requires object-based API key authentication.
- `KNACK_CREATE_VIEW_RECORD` — Create View Record — Tool to create a new record through a form view in Knack. Use when you need to add a record to a Knack object using a form view interface. Only fields that exist in the form will be used, and any record rules configured on the form will be triggered.
- `KNACK_DELETE_OBJECT_RECORD` — Delete Object Record — Tool to delete a single record from a specific Knack object by its ID. Use when you need to permanently remove a record from an object. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Requires API key authentication (X-Knack-Application-Id and X-Knack-REST-API-KEY headers).
- `KNACK_DELETE_VIEW_RECORD` — Delete View Record — Tool to delete a record through a view that contains a delete link. Works with tables, lists, searches, calendars, and details views. This operation is permanent and cannot be undone. Use only after confirming the correct scene_key, view_key, and record_id.
- `KNACK_GET_OBJECT_RECORD` — Get Object Record — Tool to retrieve a single record by its ID from a specific Knack object. Returns the complete record with all field values in both formatted and raw formats. Use this for object-based access which requires API key authentication.
- `KNACK_LIST_OBJECT_RECORDS` — List Object Records — Tool to retrieve multiple records from a specific Knack object (table). Returns up to 1000 records per page with pagination support. Use this for object-based access which requires API key authentication and provides full access to all fields and records. Supports filtering by field values and sorting by field keys.
- `KNACK_LIST_VIEW_RECORDS` — List View Records — Tool to retrieve multiple records from a specific Knack view (tables, lists, searches, calendars). Use when you need to fetch data from a view with pagination support. Returns only fields included in the view configuration.
- `KNACK_UPDATE_OBJECT_RECORD` — Update object record — Tool to update an existing record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to modify field values in an existing record. Only fields provided in the request will be updated; all other fields remain unchanged.
- `KNACK_UPLOAD_FILE` — Upload File — Tool to upload a file to a Knack application. This is step 1 of a two-step process - after uploading, use the returned file ID when creating or updating a record with a file field.
- `KNACK_UPLOAD_IMAGE` — Upload Image — Tool to upload an image to a Knack application. This is the first step in a two-step process - after uploading, use the returned file ID when creating or updating a record with an image field. Use when you need to attach images to Knack records.

## How agents use Knack

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

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

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