Control What Your AI Can Do

You decide what AI agents can do with each connected account:

  • Turn individual actions on or off for every connected account, so agents only see the actions you allow.

  • Connect as Read-only or Read & Write. A read-only connection can only enable read actions.

  • Destructive actions stay off by default. Actions such as deletes are disabled until an admin enables them.

  • Team access per account. Restricted team members only use the accounts they are granted, with the read actions enabled on them.
