🔌 Reference appConnectors
Notion, Stripe, PostHog
Trimming a big list of abilities, and choosing read-only.
What you'll learn
- Offer a small, useful set.
- Make anything that changes something ask.
- When read-only is the right call.
Three connectors show the decisions that matter when you wrap a service.
| Item | The decision |
|---|---|
| Notion | Brings three skills written for Notion's own abilities, behind the same switch as the connector, so the assistant knows how to use them well. |
| Stripe | Read-only by choice. Stripe has one general ability that can make changes such as refunds, and a list of names can't allow only the harmless uses. So the item offers reading: customers, payments, subscriptions, invoices and balance. |
| PostHog | 38 of about 900 abilities. Far more than an assistant can hold in mind. The item offers the analytics a founder or product manager needs, plus creating flags, experiments and surveys, each of which asks first. |
Ideas to borrow
Offer a small, useful set of abilities rather than everything. Make anything that changes something ask first. And if a service can't tell safe from risky, choose read-only.
