Understand the core components of Merge Agent Handler

Merge Agent Handler securely connects AI agents to third-party tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You register a user so they can connect to third party data providers. That user then takes actions through your agents. As users take actions, Merge Agent Handler scans tool inputs and responses for sensitive data, and prevents data misuse based on configurations you set in the platform.

ConceptDescription
Registered UserThe users who will be interacting with your agent. You can create these programmatically.
ConnectorsThe third-party systems that your customers will interact with.
Examples: Jira, Linear, and Asana.
ToolsThe specific actions within a connector that your customers can take.
Examples: create_issue tool in Jira, a get_issue tool in Linear, or a create_task tool in Asana.
Tool PackThe bundling of connectors and specific tools that your customers can use through your agent.
LinkUI component that guides your app’s user through authentication for a connector.
Security GatewayThe security gateway scans tool inputs and responses for sensitive data, and takes action based on what’s configured within the platform.
