Collections

Collections are the primary way you organize and control access to tools. Think of them as curated toolboxes that you expose to specific AI clients.
Each API key is scoped to one or more Collections. AI clients can only access tools in their assigned Collections.

Why Collections Matter

  • Access Control: Different API keys can access different Collections
  • Tool Curation: Choose exactly which tools AI clients can use
  • Policy Scope: Apply policies at the Collection level
  • Organization: Group related tools logically

Principals

Principals represent identities in Plinqx - both human users and AI agents.
Principal TypeDescription
USERHuman users accessing the admin portal
SYSTEMSystem-level operations
INTEGRATIONExternal integrations and AI clients
EXTERNAL_APPROVERExternal parties who approve requests
When an AI client calls a tool, Plinqx tracks which Principal made the request for audit purposes.

Vault

The Vault is Plinqx’s centralized credential management system. Instead of storing credentials directly in tools, you store them in the Vault and reference them by name.

Supported Credential Types

  • API Key - Simple key-based authentication
  • Bearer Token - JWT or OAuth tokens
  • Basic Auth - Username/password combinations
  • OAuth2 Client Credentials - Machine-to-machine OAuth
  • OAuth2 Authorization Code - User-delegated OAuth with refresh

Vault References

Reference Vault credentials in tool configurations using the syntax:
{{vault.MY_CREDENTIAL_NAME}}

Policies

Policies define governance rules that apply to tool executions. They can require approvals, limit rates, mask sensitive data, and more.

Policy Scopes

ScopeApplies To
GlobalAll tool executions tenant-wide
CollectionAll tools in a specific Collection
ToolA specific tool only
PrincipalRequests from a specific Principal

Rule Types

RuleDescription
ApprovalRequire approval before execution
Rate LimitLimit calls per time window
QuotaLimit total calls per period
Field MaskRedact sensitive fields in responses
DenyBlock execution entirely
AllowExplicitly allow (bypass other rules)

Flows

Flows are multi-step workflows that chain actions together. They can be triggered by webhooks, schedules, or exposed as MCP tools themselves.

Flow Components

  • Trigger: What starts the flow (webhook, schedule, manual)
  • Actions: Steps that execute (tool calls, transformations)
  • Conditions: Logic for branching
  • Outputs: What the flow returns

Store Exposure

Store Exposure controls which AI platforms can discover and use your tools. Plinqx supports:
  • ChatGPT - OpenAI’s GPT Store
  • Claude - Anthropic’s Claude integrations
  • Google Gemini - Google’s AI platform
Store Exposure is configured per-tool. You can expose different tools to different AI platforms.
