## Thinking Path > - Paperclip connects agents to external tools through saved accounts and per-action permissions. > - Notebook exposes artifact management through an ordinary remote MCP server with OAuth. > - A private pilot needs a hidden, default-off catalog and execution gate. > - Local file publishing belongs to Notebook, which can accept bounded file bytes through ordinary MCP tools. > - Paperclip therefore needs the connector registration and generic availability checks, with no file-transfer architecture. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Subsystem affected** Apps catalog, experimental feature metadata, connection setup, and connector availability. **Problem or motivation** Users need to connect Notebook as their Cloud account, assign its tools to agents, and retain Paperclip's normal Allowed / Ask first / Off rules. The private pilot must remain hidden until an operator enables it. Notebook should own its upload protocol and local publishing script. **Proposed solution** Register a personal remote MCP OAuth connection at Notebook's canonical endpoint. Reuse existing OAuth discovery, credential storage, refresh, reconnect, and removal. Enforce availability through generic catalog feature metadata and saved application identity. Keep Notebook's standalone uploader in its own service repository; it calls the ordinary gateway and receives no saved OAuth credential. **Alternatives considered** A gallery-only filter permits retained tools and deep links while disabled. A shared workspace publisher and private upload-ticket transport add runtime behavior that a normal MCP connector does not require. Notebook can receive file bytes directly through its own tools instead. **Roadmap alignment** This extends Connected Apps and supports Artifacts and Work Products. ROADMAP.md and related PRs were checked. This PR is standalone on master. The separate OAuth lifecycle and file-transfer proposals (#17085 and #17086) are closed and are not dependencies. ## What Changed - Register Notebook's personal MCP OAuth method, canonical endpoint, scopes, catalog metadata, and branding. - Declare managed `enablePaperclipNotebook` with false defaults and no user-facing settings toggle or staging opt-in. - Use generic availability metadata for gallery/setup, retained connection identity, OAuth completion, health, tool/context discovery, and dispatch. Resources/prompts recheck before credentials, including retained handles. Removal remains available while disabled. - Resolve catalog application identity from the saved application key, so editable connection labels cannot bypass the hidden gate. - Select a method's sole supported credential kind when no kind is supplied. - Keep UI changes to metadata-driven availability and existing setup/reconnect controls. - Document Notebook's service-owned upload script, inline publication, ordinary action policies, and credential behavior. - Add ordinary MCP OAuth, assignment, action-policy, disabled-state, settings, and catalog tests. No workspace contribution registry, private transfer endpoint, native publisher, Runner file-reader change, or Paperclip CLI upload command is included. The entire native-runtime and CLI trees match master. Upload code lives in `paperclip-cloud/notebook/`. ## Verification Source head: `65ef741e4f476c67425b57d2fb2d6d4c00e99b06`, directly on master `53732c811bb69655eb43d3d12f2063ae4ca5ad67`. The diff is 42 files. Shared execution changes only enforce generic catalog availability; tool access also resolves saved application identity and the sole supported credential kind. Neither module contains Notebook upload logic. - Catalog/shared/settings/UI suites: 592 tests passed across 12 files. Shared/server/UI typechecks passed using installed compilers. - Fresh real PostgreSQL generic MCP suite: 84/84 passed at final source; server typecheck and module boundaries pass. Coverage includes personal OAuth, ordinary refresh/reconnect, assignments, Allowed / Ask first / Off, hidden feature enforcement, and local credential removal. Four new resources/prompts cases failed against the prior code and pass after filtering saved application identity and rechecking before credentials. They prove missing/relabelled setup markers and stale eligibility cannot dispatch or read secrets while disabled; an ordinary provider remains available with the flag off. - The full tool-access service suite passed 463/464 cases. One unchanged Google Workspace `slides.write` case timed out at 15 seconds; it passed on one isolated retry without source or timeout changes. Its exact test block matches master. The cause is not established; final-head CI must qualify the complete suite. - Maps, module boundaries, token gates, and whitespace checks passed. Byte comparisons confirm the former transfer/runtime/CLI surfaces match master. - Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved findings after an exhaustive feedback audit. Current-head CI workflow [39625691137](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39625691137) succeeded, including both required checks (`ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`), Build, and browser E2E. Supplementary security/advisory scan status is recorded in the PR Checks panel and qualification receipt; prior-head scans are not counted. The superseded `4bd7af9b2e` completed CI successfully, but Greptile found the valid resources/prompts availability gap described above. It was fixed, replied to, and resolved; earlier-head results do not qualify this revision. Preserved environment failures: the first socket-restricted UI/route run had 93 listener setup failures, and the same 93 cases passed with local-socket access. The package-manager launcher could not fetch its signature metadata; installed compilers passed without dependency or configuration changes. The full service timeout and isolated retry remain recorded separately. The superseded `585e870e73` CI also failed an unchanged agent-chat project-plan revision assertion after task creation; the complete spec and relevant runtime sources match master, and a same-master prior run passed. Its cause is not established. Logs are preserved; no test or timeout was weakened and no old-head rerun was requested. The subsequent heads run full CI independently; no prior-head pass substitutes for current qualification. The Notebook uploader requires a separate service release. This public PR adds no uploader runtime to Paperclip and claims no newly deployed browser/agent acceptance. The Notebook-owned upload path is qualified separately. Code-owner review remains required before merge. ## Risks - The feature flag gates the curated connector; it does not create a Notebook service-side team allowlist or block arbitrary standard MCP URLs. - Publishing, sharing, and deletion retain the existing assignment and action-policy boundaries. - The hidden feature must be checked for retained tools and saved identity, including when connection labels change. - Disconnect removes local credentials. It does not revoke the remote Notebook authorization; the owner can revoke it in Notebook. - Ordinary refresh uses the existing client. A lost response after refresh-token rotation can require reconnect. - The standalone Notebook script and its bounded upload tools must ship together in the Notebook service before that documented convenience path is available. - No database schema, workflow, lockfile, shared transfer, or Runner change is included. No merge, deployment, or rollout is performed by this update. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code execution, and tool use.

Paperclip agent access map
This map accompanies the feature map. It records APIs, agent entry points, permission boundaries and verification for the same capability IDs. The shared contract defines the format and maintenance rules.
Use full capability IDs when referring to access contracts outside their file:
onboarding/company means the company capability in onboarding.md in both maps.
The feature index lists feature and
capability IDs; IDs and references
explains entry-point references and stable naming.
Browse access contracts
The same-named feature recipes define navigation and capability IDs. Run
node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs for the generated
maps/generated/agent-access-map.md index, or browse the
published feature guide.
Add or update the affected companion; there is no central registration or count.
Existing baseline source references describe the original inspection, not current verification. Record new executed evidence in the PR, issue, or CI artifact with its revision and scope. Do not refresh unrelated headers as bookkeeping.
Using an entry
Read its Policy and Gaps before selecting an agent path. Native fallback, legacy
REST/CLI, stdio MCP and a personal assistant connection can have different
authority and availability. Use a real admitted production binding; a scenario
declaration is not an installed tool. A restricted entry records current
enforcement and leaves any unresolved delegation decision visible.
For API catalog disagreements, follow the route/service authorization and record
discovery drift. For not-applicable, retain the concrete exception and local
path. Split shared business operations from client-only presentation.
Use maintain-verification-skill to reconcile changed source and both maps.
Use verify-paperclip and existing API/runner/MCP fixtures to collect the
permitted-agent and denial evidence; report blocked/not-run coverage honestly.
Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after editing. The structural check does not
certify permissions, API catalog coverage, tool admission or live behavior.
Native REST transport
The call_api parity change reconciles affected baselines against
58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b and the changes in this PR. Ordinary
REST operations use the same route authorization as legacy agent REST. Dedicated
tools remain optional for those operations; protocol endpoints still need their
existing clients. Board-only routes remain restricted for agent identity.
Native search_api / call_api requires operator rollout admission, a running
authorized native run, current task assignment and execution-run binding, company
and budget authority, task privacy, and a permitted work mode. Ask and Plan retain
mutation restrictions, and runs retain their admitted JWT scope during restart
recovery even when task mode changes. A waiting
agent does not gain independent native control just because a REST route exists.
Credential-bearing replies, including company exports and their legacy alias, stay inline under a 10 MiB limit and use encrypted mutation receipts. Other saved API snapshots are limited to the issuing actor and responsible user, plus authorized administrators. Artifact uploads enforce the same access checks as downloads; private snapshots are excluded from company exports and public company logos. Explicit deliverables use the existing sharing path. Native event history, checkpoints and completion records omit API bodies while preserving receipt metadata and replay digests. Restored webhook secrets use the same encrypted receipt and inline response policy as newly created webhook secrets. Task image access requires the company boundary and the task permission; skill-test and low-trust agents do not need company-wide browsing authority. Completion replay applies the same idempotent projection to stored and expected payloads; the run-log guide describes its fields.
Sources: API client,
catalog,
native authority,

baseline and source-only; this reconciliation does not certify every operation.
Targeted real-route proof lives in the
API integration suite,
including owned routines, skill tests, scoped secrets, proposals and private export replay.
