# Turn a sentence into a filter

`POST https://your-suite.gtable.app/your-app/v1/tables/{tableId}/filters/suggest`

Turn a sentence into a filter

> **Note: Generic contract**
>
> Your own version of this operation, with your tables and the fields you can read, is in
> your app's document: `https://{suite}.gtable.app/{app}/v1/openapi.json`, behind your credential.
> [Why each person gets their own](/docs/start/studio-and-runtime#why-an-app-has-an-api-of-its-own).

A small model call, not the assistant: given the table's fields, a few example values you can see, and the filter already in place, it returns the complete filter that should apply, or a refusal in plain words when the sentence is not about narrowing rows. Costs credits.

Requires the `records:read` scope. Operation `filters.suggest`. MCP tool `filters_suggest`. CLI, once published: `gtable filters suggest`.
