Episode 7 — Connectors & the outside world
The doors out of the workspace — connectors whose operations and allowed hosts you can read, the deep-research payoff of a bound connector, an MCP segment recorded on the earlier version's server panel, and fail-closed egress.

Your workspace does not live alone. This episode walks the doors to the outside world and the discipline built into each one: a connector you can read before you open it, the capability that lights up when a connector is bound, the MCP door as the earlier version showed it, and a sandbox network that answers no by default.
What the episode shows

|---|---|
| 0:13 | The catalog: connect once, the whole workspace borrows it |
| 0:30 | Reading the door: operations and allowed hosts, before anything runs |
| 0:46 | The payoff: deep research exists because Tavily is bound |
| 1:00 | MCP: your own tools, served to agents like native ones |
| 1:15 | Per-tool approval flags — native-looking is not native-trusted |
| 1:51 | The pattern at every door |
