Connector Agent | AI Agent Types | Agentic Swarm
The Connector Agent uses sandboxed extensions to access external services safely. It reaches outside systems without exposing the core swarm to them.
Why it matters
It extends what the swarm can reach while keeping external access contained and governed.
Use cases
- Querying a maps API
- Using a flights extension
- Connecting to external service APIs
- Bridging to third-party platforms
Inputs
- A task needing an external service
- A sandboxed extension or connector
- Access scope and limits
- Service credential scope
Outputs
- Data pulled from external services
- Actions taken through connectors
- Contained, auditable access
Failure modes
- Over-broad access scopes
- Unsandboxed calls
- Leaking credentials
- Connectors that fail silently
