 - **Tools.** Each group is Off, Read, Read + draft or Read + write per person. A tool is a read when its MCP `readOnlyHint` is set. On Read + draft a write only drafts a card, and runs as the person when they press Save, after access is checked again. A group with `readOnly: true` (read tools only) is offered Off or Read alone. Read + write is offered only for a group with `writes: true`: its writes run at once, and with `undo` set each one's line in the chat has Undo, which calls `undo(caller, { tool, args, result })`; the model is told what was undone. Cards drafted one after another show as one stack with Save all. Use `mcpServerTools` (an SDK `McpServer`), `mcpFetchTools` (a server served as a fetch handler, any SDK), `remoteMcpTools` or `plainTools`.
 - **Web.** `fetch` is a plain GET from the Worker (10 s, 2 MB, never the app's own hosts or private addresses). ScrapeQL's own tools join over its MCP API once an admin pastes a Cloudflare Access service token (`PUT /web/scrapeql`). A Worker on ScrapeQL's own Cloudflare account passes its service binding instead, `scrapeql: { url: 'https://scrapeql/mcp', fetch: env.SCRAPEQL.fetch.bind(env.SCRAPEQL) }`: no token is stored, the tools are always on and Settings shows the link with a Test. Each web step carries `web` (`StepWeb`: a search's `query` and `results`, or the page it `read`), so the panel folds a search's results under its line and numbers each page read under the answer as Sources chips; the model marks facts with those numbers ([1]).
 - **Web lookup (a subagent).** `web: { scrapeql, lookup: true }` swaps fetch and ScrapeQL's own tools for one tool, `web__lookup` (`webLookupTools` from `@columenlabs/lumen-ai/subagents`): given a question (and `urls` when the pages are known), it searches with ScrapeQL, has ScrapeQL's `ask` read the best pages (3 by default, `pages` up to 5) and answer in a few sentences each (`answerTokens`, default 300), and returns `{question, sources: [{url, title, answer}], failed}`: about a thousand tokens, never whole pages, so the assistant's context stays small. No model runs in the kit for it; ScrapeQL picks its own cheapest model. Its step carries `web.lookup` and `web.reads`, which the panel folds under a Looked up line and numbers as Sources chips. `fetch.blockHosts` still applies. Until ScrapeQL is reachable (no binding and no Access token saved yet), the web falls back to `fetch` and the lookup rule is left out, so turning lookup on never takes the web away.
+- **Connectors (outside MCP servers).** `connectors: true` lets an admin add any MCP server over Streamable HTTP in Settings (`assistantAdminSections({ connectors: true })`, routes `POST /connectors`, `PUT|DELETE /connectors/:id`, `POST /connectors/:id/test`): a name, an address and up to ten headers it signs in with (an Access service token, an API key; sealed with the app's other settings, never returned, only their names). It is kept only when its test lists its tools, and that list is kept: a turn offers the tools without calling the server, as group `ext_<id>` (`ext_scrapeql__search`), at the access the admin gives it: Off, Read (the tools the server marks read-only) or Read + draft (the rest make a card the person saves or dismisses; nothing runs at once). The server is called only when a tool is, over one connection for the rest of the answer. A connector's tools are always lazy: the model sees none of them until it finds them with `tool_search`, whose catalog names each connector and its tools, so a connector costs a line of the prompt until it is used. A connector's text is data, never instructions; its tool titles never become a step's words, and its tools that search or read a page (`search`, `scrape`, `extract`, `ask`, `screenshot`) carry `web` like the kit's own, so the panel shows their Sources.
 - **Hand off and advice.** The `escalate` tool hands one task to a higher tier (the person sets next, any or only when asked); Anthropic's advisor tool lets a higher tier send a plan, at most two an answer. A hand-off gives up after `HAND_OFF_MS` (4 minutes) and the turn goes on without it.
 - **Chats** run on the agent (`./agent`, `LumenAgent`, below): the app routes `POST /chat` and each chat's reads, cards and Undo to its own agent, and `assistantRoutes` answers `POST /chat` with 410 `moved`. Chats saved by the old turn loop stay readable (`GET /chats`, `GET|DELETE /chats/:id`) until `assistant.purge()` drops them 30 days after their last message.
 - **Screen moves**: while the person's Settings ▸ Screen is Move (the default), the panel sends its page map (`AssistantMessage.screen`: routes, nav pages, Settings sections, cards on screen, rows to open) and `LumenAgent` gives the model a `screen` tool (`./agent` `screen.ts`). Each call's moves (go, settings, chart, open, point) are checked against the map, kept in the chat and streamed as a `screen` event; the panel runs them through `AssistantScreenProvider` (mounted by `LumenShell`) with an Undo chip, and their outcomes go back with the next message (`outcomes`). Nothing is saved by a move.

 **Connectors.** A person adds an MCP server to their chat with `addConnector(name, url)`. The address must be https. The server signs in with its own OAuth through Think's MCP client, and the answer carries `authUrl` while it asks. `connectors()` lists them and `removeConnector(id)` drops one. Think never merges their tools on its own (`includeMcpTools` is false). A turn opens the ones `plan.connectors` lists, at the access the app gives each, as group `mcp_<id>`. Read keeps the tools the server marks read-only. Read + draft makes the rest cards, which `saveCard` runs on the server itself. Read + write runs them at once with no Undo. A connector's text is untrusted data.
 
-**Lazy tools.** Past `LAZY_AT` (30) tools, a turn sends the model its core tools and `tool_search`, with one catalog line per group in the instructions. By default the core tools are the apps' finds, the hand off and the advisor. `plan.lazy` sets `{ at, core }`. A search matches the words in a tool's name and description and turns on up to 8 tools from the next step on.

 **Images.** `AskInput.images` (base64 PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF; at most `ASSISTANT_IMAGES_MAX` (4) and `ASSISTANT_IMAGE_CHARS` together) go into the user message as file parts (`imageParts`), so the model sees them and the chat shows them again. `LumenAssistant images` lets the person paste (Cmd+V) or drop images on the box; the composer scales each to 1568 px on its long edge. An app's `POST /chat` passes `images` on in its `AskInput`.
