Unified Airtable skill for AI agents. 6 access methods with a decision tree, covering MCP, REST API, internal web API, Omni AI, scripting, formulas, webhooks, and automations. Built from real production work with 60+ Airtable bases at D1DX.

| Topic | What it covers | |-------|---------------| | Method Decision Tree | When to use MCP vs REST API vs Internal API vs Omni AI vs Scripting | | MCP | Tool reference, detail levels, safe vs write operations | | Omni AI | Capabilities the API can't do — field configs, interfaces, automations, Field Agents | | REST API | Batch limits, upsert, webhooks (create, poll, HMAC), pagination | | Internal Web API | Reverse-engineered endpoints — Interface Designer layout, visibility filters, automation export, ID prefixes | | Scripting API | Standalone vs Automation context, batch limits (50 not 10), field value type differences | | Automations | Trigger/action types, duplicate automation prevention, latency notes | | Formulas | Text, date, regex (RE2), arrays, logic functions, filterByFormula patterns | | Field Types | REST vs Scripting JSON differences for every field type | | Gotchas | 18 hard-won lessons — attachment URL expiry, checkbox null, field rename breakage, msgpack responses |
