Connector
A standardized interface that establishes communication between an agent and external tools or platforms, enabling the agent to invoke third-party software functions without manual user operation.

Connectors are the bridge through which enterprise-grade AI assistants access organisational data, and their design principle is permission inheritance: the AI only surfaces content that the current user was already entitled to view, rather than bypassing permissions to read all data.
A Connector is a standardized interface that establishes communication between an Agent and external tools or platforms, enabling the Agent to invoke third-party software functions without the user needing to operate manually.
Connector protocols and permission models may differ across platforms, and the actual migration effect depends on the degree of compatibility between the two sides.
In the layered design of skills, experts, and connectors, a connector is essentially OAuth authorization plus API encapsulation, allowing AI to access third-party services on behalf of the user.
The technology behind connectors uses OAuth authorization or pre-built API integration: after OAuth login, the platform obtains an access token to call APIs on behalf of the user without storing account credentials.
Muse's "Connectors" are the core components of its automation system, referring to the integration interfaces between Muse and external applications or services, which can operate browsers on behalf of users, call third-party app APIs, fill out forms, and even trigger payment processes.
The technical foundation behind Connectors is OAuth authorization and API integration, which goes through official API channels and differs from traditional RPA's screenshot-simulated clicking, resulting in higher stability.
When initially using connectors, it is recommended to prioritize testing with read permissions rather than write permissions, and to gradually expand the authorization scope after becoming familiar with the tool's behavior.
