Episode 7 — Integrations & the outside world

The doors out of the workspace — connectors whose operations and allowed hosts you can read, the deep-research payoff of a bound integration, MCP servers with per-tool approval flags, and fail-closed egress.

Your workspace does not live alone. This episode walks the doors to the outside world and the discipline built into each one: a connector you can read before you open it, the capability that lights up when an integration is bound, MCP tools that arrive with their own approval flags, and a sandbox network that answers no by default.

Episode 7 — Integrations & the outside world (2:30, captions available)

What the episode shows

AtScene
0:13The catalog: connect once, the whole workspace borrows it
0:30Reading the door: operations and allowed hosts, before anything runs
0:46The payoff: deep research exists because Tavily is bound
1:00MCP: your own tools, served to agents like native ones
1:15Per-tool approval flags — native-looking is not native-trusted
1:31The last door: sandboxed code, default-deny egress, fail-closed
1:51The pattern at every door

Where to go next

The integrations overview covers connecting and sharing connectors; MCP servers the protocol and its approval flags. For the network boundary, read the run-code policy — and for what a bound integration unlocks, revisit deep research.
