- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to read or change your workspace data (docs, tickets, CRM).
Before you install
- Use a role with only the permissions it needs, never an admin key.
- Connect it to a test workspace before your real one.

- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
