Who changed this
The content lead asks why the Brightwave Ltd pricing changed overnight. Memtro reads the activity log for that item and shows an update at 22:14 by Dan Fletcher, with the collection and the time of each earlier change.
Directus + Memtro
Ask Directus for items in any collection, and who changed what and when.
Connect Directus with your host name and a static token and Memtro reads your own data model: collections, items, files, users, versions, activity and comments. Memtro talks to your server or your Directus Cloud address, and the token has exactly its user's permissions. It reads on demand and there is no hourly sync. When asked, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it can create, change and permanently delete items and files, manage comments, promote a content version to live, invite people by email, and suspend or permanently delete users. Writes run your Directus Flows and hooks.
In Memtro
What you can do with Directus in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Directus tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Collections the token's user can see, and each collection's fields with type and note
- 02Items of a collection with Directus filter rules, full-text search and sorting, 100 a call, and their content versions
- 03Files in the library by words, and users with name, email, status and role
- 04The activity log by collection, item, action or date, for who changed what, and comments on an item
- 05When asked and granted, creates, changes or permanently deletes items, running Flows and hooks, promotes a content version over the live item, and adds, edits or deletes comments
- 06When asked and granted, changes or permanently deletes files, creates folders, invites a person by email with a role, and suspends, reactivates or permanently deletes users
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Directus. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Directus is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Directus + Memtro
Which articles in the posts collection are still in draft?
Who changed the Northwind product record, and when?
What fields does the events collection have?
Set the status of the Acme case study item to archived
Invite Priya Nair to Directus as an editor
Publishing the reviewed draft
Priya Sharma asks Memtro to publish the approved version of the Northwind case study. Memtro compares the version with the live item, then promotes it, so its changes replace the live item and Directus runs the Flows set on that collection.

FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Directus?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create an item in a Directus collection; change fields of a Directus item; delete a Directus item; add a comment to a Directus item; edit a Directus comment; delete a Directus comment; change a Directus file's title, description, download name, folder or tags; delete a Directus file; create a folder in the Directus file library; invite a person to Directus by email with a role; suspend or reactivate a Directus user; delete a Directus user; promote a Directus content version to the live item. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Directus connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Directus data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Directus?+
Host and Static token. Create a dedicated Directus user for Memtro with a role that can see, and if wanted change, only the collections, files and users it should.
