`connector_call`

Change something in a connected service. Change something in a connected service, on the task you hold (number): proposed for the owner's yes unless a preview. The owner's yes carries it out at once: call again with the same request_key for its result (status running while it runs; never ask for the yes again, and a failure or a no comes back in plain words). A call that waits for the yes holds at most 18,000 characters of input; one request_key per distinct call. In the free trial, the company's own connected services can be called up to 1,000 times in any 24 hours (built-in services don't count); paid plans have no daily limit. The address must be a public https address.

Where it is

In the connections area (connected services, secrets and the company's language): open it with tools_for { area: "connections" }, then call it with use_tool { name: "connector_call", args }.

Does it need a yes?

Depends on what it changes: the everyday part runs at once, anything that reaches people or core files waits for the owner's yes. Here: a write waits for its yes; only a read, or an action its definition marks read-only, runs at once (MCP hints never trusted).

Inputs

Input	Type	Needed	About
`name`	string	yes	The connector's name, from connectors. · format `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,39}$`
`tool`	string	yes	The tool's name, from connector_tools. · 1 to 100 characters
`args`	object	no	The tool's input, as connector_tools shows it.
`request_key`	string	yes	One key per call. The same key again returns the same result. · format `^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9:._-]{0,99}$`
`number`	integer	no	The task you hold. Needed for anything that changes something. · 1 or more
`cost`	object	no	A paid call: the exact cost the owner says yes to. Every paid call waits for that yes, and is never made at a higher price.
`cost.usd`	number	yes	What this one call costs in US dollars, e.g. 0.40. · 1 to 100
`cost.what`	string	yes	What is paid for, in a few words, e.g. 4 pictures at fal. · 1 to 200 characters
`run_id`	string	yes	The run_id from start. Pass it on every call: it keeps your task held. · 1 to 100 characters

Example

{
  "name": "connector_call",
  "arguments": {
    "name": "name",
    "tool": "tool",
    "request_key": "request key",
    "run_id": "the run_id from start"
  }
}

When it is refused

invalid: The input isn't right. The sentence names the field and the fix; nothing was done. Fix it and call again.
not_found: No such thing in this company (a task, file, person, record). Check the number or name, or list first.
not_allowed: Not without another step: the owner's yes, your own task held with pick_up, or a setting the owner turns on. The sentence says which.
taken: Someone else holds it (another AI on that task). Pick another task.
stale: It changed since you read it. Read it again and use the new version.
failed: On our side or a service's, never your input. Try again in a minute; if it keeps failing, call report_problem.
