# Automation table discovery AI agent

This Workflow Data Fabric agent collects asset, time, and scope inputs from the user and returns a structured JSON payload identifying the target execution tables for automation discovery.

## Workflow

1.  Prompt the user for an automation asset they want to analyze. Supports only six asset types:
    -   ServiceNow Flows
    -   Subflows
    -   Actions
    -   Catalog Items
    -   Playbooks
    -   RPA Bots
2.  Ask the user what time range to analyze.
3.  Ask which application scope\(s\) to search across.
4.  Display a confirmation message summarizing the selections, then output a structured JSON payload for a downstream workflow to execute the actual search.
