Verify the authenticated principal and company before using account-bound data.
Practical procedure
- Read /me through an authorized configured client and confirm the company and identity context.
- Inspect the real billing and connector surfaces for the operation you intend to perform rather than inferring account powers from a token alone.
- Keep human decisions in the appropriate approval flow; a service identity must not be presented as a signed-in person.
Separate the external system from GoCux authority
A named external tool in a workflow does not establish a native GoCux integration. Start with an authorized export, an already configured connector, or a separately implemented adapter. Keep external account credentials in the owning system. In GoCux, inspect the available connector and its grants; the fact that a connector is registered does not itself authorize a task to use it.
Contract example
Developer examples below describe routes on an authorized, configured GoCux control-plane base URL. They are request shapes or operation references, not claims that a particular public hostname exposes the API. Use the workspace for the corresponding human workflow; availability and permissions depend on the actual deployment.
GET /connectors — inspect connectors available to the authenticated company
GET /connectors/{connector_id}
GET /connector-defaults
GET /task-contexts/{context_id}/connectorsInspect the result
The useful outcome is an explicit boundary: what information enters GoCux, which task can access it, and what result leaves. Start with a read-only sample and verify its source context. A local client or adapter owns the external invocation and its error handling unless an actual deployed connector provides that behavior.
What to keep explicit
There is no generic external account API compatibility claim. Account context, entitlement, connector grants and human approval remain distinct controls.
Handle incomplete and refused work
Authentication with the external system is separate from GoCux authentication. Missing grants, revoked permissions or unavailable connectors must remain visible; do not replace them with invented data. Publishing a marketplace listing, creating a paid external resource or sending messages is a separate action from preparing an integration guide.
