It gives your agent 66 CartonCloud actions (30 reads, 30 writes and 6 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the CartonCloud credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces CartonCloud's limits and records every call.

Plus your host and your tenant id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "cartoncloud" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in CartonCloud?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 6 CartonCloud actions are destructive, including delete an existing Outbound Order, delete an existing Inbound Order and delete consignment item. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my CartonCloud API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the CartonCloud service file: 300 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (20 CartonCloud actions can be), which never reaches CartonCloud. **What does a CartonCloud action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (66 CartonCloud actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls CartonCloud refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which CartonCloud API does it cover?** The CartonCloud API 8 (Accept-Version: 8) at api.cartoncloud.com by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from CartonCloud's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 66 actions in 24 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my CartonCloud data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 1 minute, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your CartonCloud credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like CartonCloud Shares the most action names with - [MachShip 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/machship) - [Uber Direct 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/uber-direct) - [Onfleet 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/onfleet) - [UPS 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/ups) - [FedEx 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/fedex) - [Fergus 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/fergus) Joins with, on shared entities - [Whop 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/whop) - [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sap-s-4hana-cloud-public-edition) - [Rubrik Security Cloud 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/rubrik-security-cloud) - [Deputy 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/deputy) - [Cloudflare 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/cloudflare) - [Databricks 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/databricks) Browse - [All Logistics & field service connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/logistics-and-field-service) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
