Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”When you connect Slate to an AI client, tools are grouped into two permission categories:
Read-only tools retrieve information from your account: checking credits, listing courses, previewing outlines. These are safe to allow automatically.
Write tools can create or modify content: course creation, managing preview links, opening reviews. You can choose to allow these automatically or require approval each time.
You can change these settings anytime from your AI client’s connector preferences.
