AI Tool Integration Brief Generator

Plan a tool or connector integration with capabilities, permissions, data flow, tests, failure states, and rollout notes.

Integration Brief

Tool integration brief
Stage: Prototype

1. Goal
Add a cited source retrieval step to the source comparison prototype.

2. Capability scope
- Must support: [core capability]
- Out of scope now: [explicit exclusions]
- Successful output: [user-visible result]

3. Data flow
Research question, pasted notes, retrieved snippets, citations, evidence state, final comparison.

| Stage | Data | Destination | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Input | [User input] | [Frontend/backend/provider] | [Store?] |
| Processing | [Intermediate result] | [Tool chain] | [Logging] |
| Output | [Result] | [User] | [Export/delete] |

4. Permissions, limits, and cost
Read-only retrieval, disclose provider use, avoid storing private notes by default.
- Auth mode: [none/user auth/service key]
- Rate limit: [per user/per IP/per task]
- Cost signals: [calls, tokens, retrieval, media]

5. Failure states
- Missing input
- Provider timeout or exhausted quota
- No-evidence result
- High-risk permission denied

6. Test and rollout
- Unit tests: [format and validation]
- Integration tests: [provider success/failure]
- QA: [privacy copy, loading state, mobile, analytics]
- Rollback: [feature flag off or downgrade to stateless prototype]

How to use Integration Brief

Step 1

Define capability and permission separately.

Step 2

Map data flow before choosing storage or providers.

Step 3

Test empty, risky, delayed, and provider-failure states.

Example

FAQ

Does this connect the tool automatically?

No. It drafts a brief for implementation, privacy review, cost review, and QA.

Why write data flow first?

Data flow reveals privacy, retention, provider, and failure decisions before code hides them.
