version: "1.0.0" name: ocm-integrations description: Use OCM workspace integrations exposed by the native mcp.servers.ocm MCP server. Trigger when a user asks to use connected workspace apps or external SaaS tools such as Google Workspace, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Slack, Notion, custom REST APIs, OpenAPI tools, or remote MCP servers through OCM.

ocm-integrations

OCM workspace integrations are configured at the workspace level and surfaced inside the machine by the native mcp.servers.ocm MCP server. The backend keeps upstream credentials server-side; the machine only receives a per-machine token and policy-filtered OCM facade tools.

Required workflow

1. Search first with ocm.search_tools when that tool is available. Use

method: "semantic" unless the user asks for an exact tool name. Search with the user's intent, not guessed provider function names.

1. If the provider or access level is known, include integration and access

filters to keep the result set small. Use access: "read" for lookups and access: "write" for create, send, update, upload, or delete actions.

1. Describe exactly one selected result with ocm.describe_tool before calling

it. Use the tool_address returned by search.

1. Execute with ocm.call_tool using that same tool_address and arguments

that match the described schema.

Prefer the OCM search, describe, and call flow because it keeps tool discovery compact and routes execution through OCM policy, logging, and redaction.

MCP guidance surface

When the MCP client exposes resources or prompts, the same guidance is available from resource ocm://workspace-integrations/agent-guidance and prompt ocm_workspace_integrations. Treat those as runtime reminders of this skill; they do not replace the required search, describe, and call workflow.

Addresses and policy

Search results include legacy tool_id values such as github.search_code and structured tool_address values such as wi.<workspace_id>.github.github-main.search_code. Use tool_address because it distinguishes multiple connections for the same app, such as two Gmail accounts or two GitHub repos. Use tool_id only when there is no tool_address and the tool is clearly unambiguous. If a result has policy_state: "require_approval", report that the tool needs human approval instead of trying to call it.

Semantic discovery

ocm.search_tools accepts natural language queries and expands common provider, object, and action terms. Examples:

• "list inbox messages" can find Gmail message-list tools.
• "schedule meetings" can find calendar event tools.
• "send email" can find write-capable Gmail send tools when allowed.
• "create ticket" can find Jira or Linear issue tools when those integrations

are connected.

If semantic search returns no useful result, retry once with a simpler query: provider name plus object plus action, such as "gmail list messages" or "github search code". Use method: "keyword" only for exact IDs or literal metadata matching.

If tools are missing

• If no ocm.* tools are visible, say that OCM integrations are not loaded in

this session and ask the user to verify mcp.servers.ocm is configured and the gateway has restarted.

• If ocm.search_tools returns no matches, say that the workspace integration

is not connected, not authorized, or not allowed by policy.

• Do not invent provider-specific tool names or call provider tools directly by

name. Use ocm.call_tool with a tool_address returned by ocm.search_tools.

Google Workspace recovery

Google Workspace is service-specific. Treat Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar as separate connected services, even if they share one Google OAuth account.

When a Google tool is missing or returns an auth error, explain the likely user action:

• Gmail not visible or 403: reconnect Google and grant Gmail scopes, or ask a

Google Workspace admin if org policy blocks Gmail API access.

• Drive not visible or 403: reconnect Google and grant Drive scopes, or ask an

admin if Drive API access is blocked.

• Calendar not visible or 403: reconnect Google and grant Calendar scopes, or

ask an admin if Calendar API access is blocked.

• 401/token revoked: reconnect the Google account.
• Rate limited: tell the user to retry later.

Do not ask the user for raw OAuth tokens or client secrets in chat. OCM stores credentials server-side.

Multi-step work

For one-off single actions, use the required search, describe, call flow. If ocm.execute is visible, use it only for one-off multi-step work that needs local filtering, joining, pagination, or batching; do not use it for a single tool call. If saved workflow tools are visible, use them only for repeated, scheduled, shared, durable, or approval-heavy work. Do not claim execute or workflow support unless those tools are visible in the current session.

Safety

• Do not reveal backend URLs, machine tokens, OAuth tokens, API keys, or

integration credentials.

• Treat write-capable tools as policy-controlled side effects. Confirm intent

when the user asks for destructive or externally visible actions.
