What is an artificial intelligence application connector?
Definition
An artificial intelligence application connector translates between an agent and an external tool such as cloud storage. It can expose approved read, write or other operations through an application programming interface or a standard integration protocol.
Connectors should enforce authentication and narrow permissions outside the model. The workflow needs clear destinations, input validation and approval for consequential operations such as deleting data or sending a finished document externally.
