Choose connector tools

A connector that’s finished discovery hands Falcon AI every tool it found, already allowed. Narrowing that down to what you actually want Falcon AI calling happens in a separate step. This guide covers the Customize panel, where you allow or deny a connector’s tools for the whole workspace, and the chat input’s Connectors submenu, which is a shortcut for managing connectors rather than a separate control.

This guide assumes you’ve already added a connector, authenticated it, and run discovery on it. If you haven’t, see Connect an MCP server first.

Open a connector’s tool permissions

From the Falcon AI full page, open Customize in the left rail, the panel where you manage skills and connectors. Pick Connectors, then select the connector you want to configure.

Its Tool permissions section is where access is actually decided, splitting what the server offers into two groups: Interactive tools, which take an action through the connected server such as creating, updating, or sending something, and Read-only tools, which only fetch or look up information.

Allow or deny individual tools

To stop Falcon AI from calling a single tool, flip its toggle from Allowed to Denied. This doesn’t touch the rest of its group, so you can deny the odd tool you don’t want called while leaving the rest of Interactive tools or Read-only tools allowed. There’s no group-level deny-all chip, so denying a whole group means flipping its tools one at a time.

If you want a group back to fully allowed after denying part of it, click that group’s Always allow chip to allow every tool in it again in one move.

Before a connector has discovered anything

Before a connector has discovered any tools, the Tool permissions section isn’t there yet. In its place sits a single note: “No tools discovered yet. Tools will appear after the connector successfully connects.” That’s expected for a connector you’ve just added, or one whose discovery just hasn’t finished yet.

Manage connectors from the chat input

The chat input’s + menu has a Connectors submenu listing every connector configured for the workspace along with its connected state, and a Manage connectors link that opens the connector settings page. If none are configured yet, it reads “No connectors configured” instead.
