Choose connector tools

Choose which of a connector's discovered tools Falcon AI is allowed to call.

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 is a separate step, and it happens on the connector’s own entry in Workspace Settings.

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 tools

Go to Settings > Falcon AI Connectors and select the connector in the list on the left. Its Discovered Tools section is the last thing on the detail pane, headed by the number of tools the most recent discovery returned.

Each tool is a row of its own, carrying the tool’s name, the description the server supplied for it, and a toggle.

Allow or deny individual tools

Every tool arrives switched on, so Falcon AI can already call all of them. Switch one off to stop Falcon AI calling it. Nothing else in the list is affected, so you can deny the odd tool you don’t want called and leave the rest alone.

The change saves as you make it, with no confirmation step and nothing to submit, and it holds when you reload the page.

The count beside the heading is how many tools were discovered, not how many are allowed, so it stays put as you switch tools off

Note

Falcon AI can only call a tool that’s both discovered and switched on. If the connected server stops offering a tool you’d allowed, the change is rejected with an “Unknown tools” error until you re-run Discover Tools.

Before a connector has discovered anything

Until a connector has discovered something, there are no rows to switch, and a single note sits where the list would be: “No tools discovered yet. Click Discover Tools or Re-authenticate to fetch available tools.” That’s expected on a connector you’ve just added. Run Discover Tools on it and the list fills in.

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.
