Source Management

Handles the orchestration layer when you're searching across multiple MCP sources like Slack, email, Google Drive, or Linear. It figures out which sources are connected by checking available tools, suggests what else you could hook up if results seem thin, and applies smart prioritization (hit chat first for decisions, task tracker for status, knowledge base for policy questions). Also respects rate limits without blocking your whole search. You won't invoke this directly, it runs behind the scenes when you use enterprise search commands. Most useful when you've got three or more sources connected and need the system to know which ones to check first based on what you're actually asking.

Source Management

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Knows what sources are available, helps connect new ones, and manages how sources are queried.

Checking Available Sources

Determine which MCP sources are connected by checking available tools. Each source corresponds to a set of MCP tools:

SourceKey capabilities
~~chatSearch messages, read channels and threads
~~emailSearch messages, read individual emails
~~cloud storageSearch files, fetch document contents
~~project trackerSearch tasks, typeahead search
~~CRMQuery records (accounts, contacts, opportunities)
~~knowledge baseSemantic search, keyword search

If a tool prefix is available, the source is connected and searchable.

Guiding Users to Connect Sources

When a user searches but has few or no sources connected:

You currently have [N] source(s) connected: [list].
