39633c2217 docs: connectors catalog, operator-first third revision (#124)
Connector catalog, setup guides, and shared access documentation,
followed by a final code-accuracy repair pass. This PR does not change
application behavior.

## Final accuracy pass

Checked against shipped Paperclip `v2026.916.0`, commit
`dffc2b3ca1b9e88fa21cb17493083e682dffd1ca`, rather than the dirty local
checkout or the earlier canary baseline.

- Corrects connector/method-specific identity choices, human audiences,
and managed GitHub versus PAT scope and verification.
- Explains that **Always allow** covers different arguments for the same
agent/action/connection, with project scope when present; uses actual
button labels and removes the test-panel control from review
instructions.
- Qualifies new-action quarantine, including safe-default read
exceptions. Removes unconditional approval guarantees.
- Separates provider channel/repository reach from Paperclip sender
authorization.
- Completes sandbox sign-in and model credential-selection instructions
from the current UI implementation.
- Repairs Notion's hub summary, removes incomplete optional
Notion/Sentry client-registration procedures, and corrects Linear's
provider-versus-Paperclip attribution.
- Removes unsupported Postman tier claims, contradictory Cloudinary/Mem0
verification assertions, API-equivalence claims, and overbroad
successful-test assurances.
- Retains Supabase's required project reference: both released method
definitions explicitly require it. An earlier review suggested
otherwise; release code is authoritative here.
- Updates the release baseline and removes draft commit chronology from
the public introduction.

## Availability and remaining runtime gates

- **Google:** Verification is pending. Per the product-owner
clarification, authorization can continue where Google offers an
Advanced option; this is not available for every account and does not
override Workspace policy or other Google prerequisites. Notices on the
hub and all Google guides now distinguish an unverified-app warning from
blocked authorization.
- **Slack is available but not yet fully functional; follow-up fixes are
planned.** For agent tools, the released OAuth endpoint/scope defaults
differ from Slack's documented MCP contract. The page now warns against
treating that route as production-ready and removes the misleading
bot-scope walkthrough. Chat-channel bot setup remains separate.
Engineering must reconcile the integration and run OAuth plus one read
before removing this warning. Source:

- No credentialed connector run was performed in this pass. Code
consistency, provider documentation, UI rendering, and successful live
execution are separate evidence levels. No claim of runtime
certification for all connectors.

## Validation

- Root build: 253 crawlable documentation pages.
- Full `docs:test`: all eight suites passed locally, including
root/subpath routes, sitemap history, fingerprints, navigation, skill
source blocks, crawlable links, doc-link resolution, and SEO metadata.
- Internal-link lint: 258 Markdown files; no broken internal links.
- Latest cleanup: full build, all eight docs:test suites, internal-link
lint and diff whitespace checks passed; 1,878 link-resolution checks.
- Fixed the Calendar MCP reference URL; browser-checked the five
inconclusive external destinations (Miro article loads; Asana, Google
Cloud, OpenAI and xAI reach sign-in/console screens). Authenticated
destinations were not tested beyond those screens.
- Replaced the Sandbox providers editorial TODO with a scope note and
removed the CLI overview's unfinished-guide announcement.
- Browser client navigation: 687 checks passed using installed Chrome.
Initial launch lacked the downloaded Playwright browser; rerun used
`DOCS_CHROMIUM_PATH` without changing the tests.
- Nine representative connector/shared pages at 1440px and 390px: HTTP
200, one article H1, no page-level horizontal overflow. Mobile
screenshot inspected; approval page opened in the Codex browser.
- Navigation audit reports three existing non-connector orphan files;
this patch does not alter those files or their navigation.

The previous revision's provider-page expansion, Google shared setup
guide, navigation additions, and accidental node_modules-symlink cleanup
remain in this PR. Internal review ledgers remain outside the
publication branch. No merge or production deployment authorized.

Resend Connector Let agents work with Resend email delivery — domains, audiences, and delivery status. Why sending is not a setup test, domain scope, and troubleshooting.

Resend

Agents can work with your Resend account — checking delivery status, inspecting domains and audiences, and, where you permit it, sending email.

Warning: This connector can reach a real sending pipeline. Mail sent from Resend goes to real inboxes, counts against your plan, and affects your domain's sending reputation. Do not verify this connector by sending a message.

Resend is for programmatic email from your own domains. If you want an agent to have its own inbox and treat conversations as tasks, that is AgentMail. If you want an agent to read your personal mailbox, that is Gmail.

Before you connect

  • A Resend account with access to the domains you want agents to work with.
  • Verified sending domains, if sending is in scope. Resend requires domain verification through DNS before it will send from an address, and this connector does not change that.

Connect Resend

  1. Open Connectors and select Resend.
  2. On the Access step, choose the identity and which agents may use the connection.
  3. Select Sign in with Resend and complete browser sign-in.

Paperclip registers its client automatically, so there is nothing to configure in a developer console.

Choose access

Reach is the authorizing Resend account's: its domains, audiences, and delivery history.

Separate the operations clearly, because they differ enormously in consequence:

Operation Consequence
Reading delivery status, domains, audiences Nothing leaves the building
Managing audiences and contacts Changes who is on a mailing list
Sending email Real mail to real people, immediately and irreversibly

Danger: Keep send actions Off, or Ask first at the very least. An agent that can send mail unsupervised can email your customers. There is no recall, and a mistake affects your domain reputation as well as the recipients.

Audience changes deserve care too — removing a contact loses a subscription record, and adding one may have consent implications. See Set action permissions.

Try it

Verify with a read:

List the verified sending domains on the Resend account and tell me the delivery status of the most recent email. Do not send anything.

Compare against the Resend dashboard. This confirms the credential and shows you the domain configuration at the same time, with nothing delivered.

Note: A verified domain means Resend has confirmed its DNS, not that this credential may send from it. Whether an agent can actually send depends on the API key's own permissions and on the send action's setting in Paperclip — listing domains tells you neither. Keep those three things separate when you reason about what this connection can do.

If you eventually need to confirm sending, send to an address you personally control, from a domain you own, and only once you have decided the agent should have that capability.

Note: Illustrative task, not a recorded test result.

Troubleshooting and limitations

Problem Likely cause Fix
No domains are listed The account has none, or none are verified Add and verify a domain in Resend
Sending is refused The domain is not verified, or the send action is Off Verify the domain in Resend; check the Permissions tab
Mail sends but does not arrive Recipient filtering, or domain reputation and DNS records Check Resend's delivery logs and your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records
An agent emailed someone unexpectedly A send action was set to Allowed Set it to Off, and review what was sent in Resend's logs
Sends are throttled Resend's plan rate limits Check your plan limits
Needs attention The grant was revoked Select Reconnect

Limitations: one Resend account per connection. Domain verification is Resend's and cannot be bypassed. Paperclip cannot recall sent mail.
