- Unified auth handling. OAuth, API-key flows, token refresh and optional embedded sign-in UI are provided out of the box.
- Tool discovery controls. Scope available tools to fit model limits and reduce surface area.
- SDKs & language support. Client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and UI components for React, Vue, Angular, JS.
- Embedded security boundaries. Each connection defines isolated access, with read/write, object and action restrictions.
- Virtual & native webhooks. Unlimited webhook subscriptions with virtual polling for systems lacking native webhooks.
