Search docs, presentations, videos, whiteboards, sheets, and other designs in Canva, except for templates or brand templates.
Use when you need to find specific designs by keywords rather than browsing folders.
Use 'query' parameter to search by title or content.
If 'query' is used, 'sortBy' must be set to 'relevance'. Filter by 'any' ownership unless specified. Sort by relevance unless specified.
Use the continuation token to get the next page of results, when there are more results.
CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. ALWAYS use the 'search-brand-templates' tool when the user is searching for templates or wants to use a template.
2.** 🚫 When a user says search a template, they ALWAYS mean brand-templates. Therefore NEVER call this tool, ALWAYS call the 'search-brand-templates' tool to search for the templates. **
3.** 🚫 NEVER use this tool when the user expresses intent to “generate”, “create”, “autofill”, “search a template”, “start from a template”, “use my template”, or “pick a template for generation”.
In all such cases, ALWAYS use search-brand-templates.
ANY query involving:
– “generate a presentation”
– “generate a report”
– “make a design using a template”
– “generate from a template”
– “produce a presentation from their template”
- "search for available templates"
MUST NOT use search-designs.
This tool ONLY searches existing designs (docs, presentations, whiteboards, videos, etc.) that the user already owns or that are shared with them.
It DOES NOT find templates and MUST NOT be used as a fallback for template selection. **
