Follow external AI work in Chats
Chats shows external clients that used dtxWiki through MCP. MCP is the connection that lets a supported AI client read or propose changes to workspace content. See MCP connections to set it up.
You need Editor or Owner access to the Chats surface.
Understand what is recorded
Chats records MCP tool calls, inputs and results retained under the trace policy, and linked items. It does not receive a separate copy of the message you typed into the external client. It is tool activity, not a full chat transcript.
| Screen | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Ask | Questions and evidence-based answers inside dtxWiki. |
| Chats | Provenance for external MCP sessions and their tools. |
| Activity | Workspace events across changes, reviews, tools, and jobs. |
For example, an external client may search for Launch plan, read it, and propose a revised draft. Chats can show that sequence and link the affected page. It cannot reconstruct every sentence exchanged in the external app.
Inspect a session
- Open Chats.
- Filter by Client, Period, or Writes only. Use the title/summary search if you remember the topic.
- Open a chat and read the tool sequence, errors or refused operations, and Linked artifacts.
- Follow a linked Context or Library item to inspect its current accessible content.
- For a proposed edit, use Review to check what became published.
A write call does not by itself prove that a page was published. A refused call is evidence that an operation did not pass its checks. Tool-level Technical inputs can help an administrator diagnose a problem, but the page and review state determine the knowledge readers receive.
Conversations can group related sessions when the external client preserves the conversation token returned by dtxWiki. Clients that do not carry that token may create separate session records for related activity.
Rename, archive, and restore
Use Edit title in chat detail to make a session easier to find. Archive hides it from the default list; it is not deletion of the linked pages. Turn on Show archived and use Restore to return it to the list.
If there are no Chats
- Check the selected workspace and period filter.
- Turn off Writes only to include read/search sessions.
- Confirm that the external client actually called dtxWiki MCP tools. Ordinary conversation in the external app does not create a record here.
- Confirm your role and the connection's workspace grant with the Owner.
Review connection access before sharing trace details outside the workspace. Retained technical inputs can themselves contain workspace material.
