Sample Prompts

Once connected, try prompts like these. The agent will choose which tools to call based on your request.

Getting Started

Give me an overview of what fsPulse is monitoring

Are there any integrity issues? Show me the details

File Analysis

What are the largest files being tracked?

Break down the files by extension with counts and total sizes

How many files of each type are there? Which types take the most space?

Integrity Investigation

Show me all suspect hash observations

Show me validation failures for PDF files

Scan History

Show me recent scan activity for /home/user/Documents

What changed in the last scan?

Browsing and Searching

List the contents of /Users/greg/Documents

Search for files named “report”

Aggregation

Count files by extension for root 3, sorted by total size

How many scans has each root had?

Multi-Step Investigations

The most powerful use of fsPulse with an AI agent is iterative investigation — start with a high-level question and drill down based on what you find. These are examples of conversations, not single prompts.

Activity Report for a Time Period

Start broad, then focus:

What changed in root 1 between March 1 and March 15?

From the results, you might follow up with:

Drill into the /photos/2026 folder — what was added there?

Which files were modified more than once during that period?

Storage Growth Analysis

Show me how the total size of root 2 has changed over the last 20 scans

Graph the file count and total size trends

Which folders are growing the fastest? Break down size by top-level directory

Investigating Churn

Which files in root 1 have been modified the most times?

Show me the version history for that file — how has its size changed over time?

Graph the size of that file over its version history

Integrity Triage

Show me all unreviewed integrity issues for root 3

Focus on the PDF validation failures — are they concentrated in a specific folder?

Show me the version history for the files with suspect hashes — when did the hash first change?
