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.
Usage Examples
"Summarize the tabs and headers in my "Q3 Budget" spreadsheet"
"Add a row to the Leads sheet with today's form submissions"
"Create a chart of monthly revenue"
