Explore your file

Before you build a Web Viewer app, use your agent to explore the FileMaker file. This gives you immediate value from the Agentic Development Toolkit (ADT) and confirms the agent has useful context.

Warning  Code mode required ADT works only when your agent operates inside a project folder. Exploration happens there too. Ask the questions below from your project in Claude Code, or in Codex mode if you use ChatGPT, rather than from a standalone conversation.

Useful first prompts

Copy 
Summarize the tables, layouts, and relationships in this FileMaker file.

If nothing is connected, tell me what to fix.
Copy 
Show me a table of the last ten invoices in the system.

If you can't find an invoices layout, list the closest matches.
Copy 
Show me an ERD diagram for this FileMaker file.

If diagram generation fails, explain why.

You can also ask for visualizations of the data ADT returns:

Copy 
Use the visualizer to show recent invoice revenue by month.

If the data isn't available, suggest an alternative chart from what's connected.

What the agent can learn

  • Layout and field names.

  • Table occurrence and relationship context.

  • Script names and the likely workflows they support.

  • Data shapes the future Web Viewer app can use.
