# App connections

The Apps experience lets Nock discover supported services and manage connections for your account. A connection grants access according to the provider's authorization flow; it does not by itself confirm that every agent action is enabled.

**Launch preview:** hosted app-tool execution is not publicly enabled yet. Catalog and connection workflows may be present before execution becomes available. Check the status and messages shown in your build.

## Connect a supported app

When Apps is available:

1. Open the Apps catalog and find the service you want.
2. Open its details and review the available tool descriptions and setup guidance.
3. Start the connection and complete the provider's sign-in or authorization flow.
4. Return to Nock and check the connection status before asking it to use that service.

Use the correct provider account, especially when you have both personal and work accounts. Some services need additional setup or an organization administrator's approval.

## Connection status and action access

A connection can be pending, inactive, or connected. If the sign-in window closed early, reopen the connection flow and inspect the provider's confirmation.

Even a connected account can have restricted permissions, unavailable tools, or plan-dependent access. If Nock says tool execution is unavailable, reconnecting repeatedly will not enable a feature that has not launched.

## Disconnect

Use the connection's disconnect control when you no longer want it available to Nock. You can also review and revoke the integration from the provider's own account settings. Disconnecting does not undo actions already completed in the connected service.

## Before retrying an action

If a network error interrupts a task, check the destination app first. A message or record might have been created even if Nock did not receive a clear result. Review the outcome before asking it to repeat a write.
