Goal

Use NocoBase MCP tools to locate the right collection, query business data safely, and produce reliable summaries or grouped analysis.

Prerequisite

• NocoBase MCP must already be reachable and authenticated.
• If MCP returns authentication errors such as Auth required, stop and ask the user to refresh MCP authentication before continuing.

Default strategy

1. Inspect the data source path first.
2. Prefer the main data source.
3. If the target collection is not in main, inspect other enabled data sources.
4. Once the collection is located, use that dataSource explicitly in every subsequent resource_* call.
5. Prefer resource_query for counts and grouped analysis only after confirming the query parameter contract.
6. Fall back to resource_list plus manual counting when query results are suspicious or need cross-checking.
