We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 6

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  6. Very specific:

    If granting, summarize the proposed scope in normal language before calling grant_connector_action_policy.

    line 26
  7. Very specific:

    Use requires_per_action_approval: false only when the user asks for preauthorization rather than case-by-case approval.

  8. Very specific:

    Use revoke_connector_action_policy when the user asks to remove or narrow a grant.

    line 28

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Connector Action Authorization

Use this when the user wants Samantha to act through an external connector beyond read-only setup/backfill: sending messages, replying to email, marking messages read, labeling, spam triage, deletion, or cross-channel intervention.

Principles

  • Do not treat a connected account as permission to act. Connection grants access; action policies grant behavior.
  • Make the policy concrete before granting it: connector, action kind, target/account, contexts, limits, and expiration when relevant.
  • Prefer narrow constraints: allowed_targets / allowed_recipients and max_per_day are safer than broad grants.
  • allow_autonomous: true means heartbeat or another non-chat context may act without a live user message. Use it only when the user explicitly asks for ongoing/autonomous behavior.
  • Keep destructive actions, especially delete, out of autonomous policy unless the user is exceptionally explicit and the constraints are narrow.

Flow

  1. Call connector_action_policy_status to inspect existing grants.
  2. If granting, summarize the proposed scope in normal language before calling grant_connector_action_policy.
  3. Use requires_per_action_approval: false only when the user asks for preauthorization rather than case-by-case approval.
  4. Use revoke_connector_action_policy when the user asks to remove or narrow a grant.
