From request to integration
1
Investigate
Inspect existing connections and library recipes, then research additional sources when needed. Compare the available operations with the task.
2
Select
Choose the exact package, version, entrypoint and operations. Identify required configuration, dependencies and account inputs.
3
Prepare
Acquire the selected artifacts and dependency closure. Validate the package and activation manifest, then present the installation for review.
4
Connect and authorize
Complete account setup through protected controls and grant the intended agent the selected operations.
5
Use
Attach the integration through the host’s runtime. In an integrated application, return the setup result to the original task; in the CLI, use a new ordinary agent session in the same realm.
Inspection tools
A host can exposesetup_inspect_acquired for Python and Node packages. It lists and reads archive contents without running the package. The agent uses the files to choose the entrypoint and author the integration metadata.
Plugin inspection reads selected skill and MCP files. Saved source observations and local recipes preserve the configuration and research for later reuse. Current installation and access decisions are made when that recipe is used.
