How to add capabilities (tools) to your AI Agent so it can read Notion databases and filter for specific tasks.
Tool Description Tips for AI
Avoid leaving the tool description blank or using the default text. You need to write a clear description so the AI understands exactly when it needs to pull data from Notion.
Permission Error
If the AI cannot find your data, ensure you have added (Invited) the Integration you created into that specific Notion database via the 'Connections' menu. Without this step, the token will not have access even if the connection shows as 'Success' in Make.
The Advantage of 'Let the AI Decide'
By setting the 'Limit' to 'Let the agent decide', the AI can dynamically adjust the amount of data it fetches. For example, if a user asks 'What are my top 3 tasks?', the AI will automatically set the limit to 3.
