## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0

  title: Connie Tools API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    API for the Tools module — the connectivity layer that manages OAuth
    integrations, MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, and webhooks.

    **Important:** "Tools" here refers to the module that *connects* external
    services and manages integrations — not to the built-in AI tools (like CRM
    operations, web browsing, etc.) that are documented in the AI & Brain
    module. Think of this module as the "connectors" layer: it handles OAuth
    flows, MCP server connections, and webhook ingestion.
