Connections

Connections give a tenant user’s agents authenticated access to 1,000+ third-party apps (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Stripe, Notion, …). Every connection is per-user and gated by the user’s Account Kit. Naive keeps a local mirror of connection status so reads are cheap; execute-time auth always goes through the connections provider.

CLI First

naive connections list --user alice
naive connections connect gmail --user alice
naive connections execute gmail GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL --user alice --args '{"recipient_email":"lead@co.com","subject":"Hi","body":"..."}'

Tools

Tool	Type	Description
`connections_list`	Core	List apps available to a user (filtered by their Account Kit) with connection status
`connections_connected`	Core	List the user’s active/expired connections (from the mirror)
`connections_connect`	Core	Start a connect flow — returns a hosted redirect link
`connections_tools`	Core	List the tools an app exposes
`connections_execute`	Core	Execute a specific tool for the user
`connections_disconnect`	Management	Disconnect (optionally purge) an app for the user

Pricing

Action	Credits
`connections_execute` (per tool call)	Free
Listing apps, listing tools, connect, disconnect	Free

Connections are free end to end today — executing a tool included.

Connecting an App

connect returns a hosted redirectUrl. Send the user there; once they finish auth the connection becomes ACTIVE. This is a sensitive action and may require approval depending on the Account Kit.

curl -X POST https://api.usenaive.ai/v1/users/{user_id}/connections/connect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer nv_sk_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "toolkit": "gmail", "callback_url": "https://myapp.com/oauth/callback" }'

const res = await naive.forUser(alice.id).connections.connect("gmail", {
  callbackUrl: "https://myapp.com/oauth/callback",
});
// Send the user to res.redirectUrl. After they finish, the connection becomes ACTIVE.

Response:

{
  "status": "INITIATED",
  "toolkit": "gmail",
  "redirectUrl": "https://connect.example.com/link/lk_xxx",
  "connectedAccountId": "ca_xxx"
}

Parameters

Param	Type	Required	Description
`toolkit`	string	Yes	App slug (e.g. `gmail`, `slack`, `stripe`) — see `GET /v1/toolkits`
`callback_url`	string	No	Where the user is returned after auth

Executing a Tool

Once connected, execute any of the app’s tools:

curl -X POST https://api.usenaive.ai/v1/users/{user_id}/connections/gmail/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer nv_sk_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "tool": "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL", "arguments": { "recipient_email": "lead@co.com", "subject": "Hi", "body": "..." } }'

await naive.forUser(alice.id).connections.execute("gmail", "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL", {
  recipient_email: "lead@co.com",
  subject: "Hi",
  body: "...",
});

Listing & Status

# Apps available to the user (filtered by their Account Kit) + connection status
curl https://api.usenaive.ai/v1/users/{user_id}/connections \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer nv_sk_your_key"

# Just the user's active/expired connections (cheap mirror read)
curl https://api.usenaive.ai/v1/users/{user_id}/connections/connected \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer nv_sk_your_key"

Connection status is read from Naive’s local mirror; INITIATED rows older than ~10s are refreshed before responding. See Connection status.

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Recovery
`feature_not_configured`	3rd-party connections aren’t enabled on the workspace	Contact support to enable them
`forbidden`	The user’s Account Kit doesn’t permit this app	Adjust the kit’s allow/block list
`pending_approval` (202)	The connect was gated for human approval	Approve via the Approvals queue
`not_found`	Invalid `user_id`	Use `GET /v1/users` for valid ids

Typical Workflow

Agent needs to email a lead from Alice's Gmail
    │
    ├─ GET  /v1/users/alice/connections?search=gmail   → Is Gmail available + connected?
    │
    ├─ POST /v1/users/alice/connections/connect        → Not connected → get redirectUrl
    │   { toolkit: "gmail" }                              (send Alice to finish OAuth)
    │
    ├─ GET  /v1/users/alice/connections/connected      → status: ACTIVE ✓
    │
    └─ POST /v1/users/alice/connections/gmail/execute  → Send the email
        { tool: "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL", arguments: {...} }
