Reach _is not._ A business runs on thirty systems, none built for AI. So every AI project starts by rebuilding integrations. The model was never the problem. The missing layer was.

It cannot get into the accounting system, the ticket desk or the database where the work lives. **_02_No limits.** An agent with access has all the access. No read-only. No budget. No off switch. **_03_No record.** When something goes wrong, nobody can answer: what did it do, who allowed it, and why did it think that was right? Payments needed a network. Data needed a lake. **Actions need one too.** 02Do ## One action. Any system. Create the ticket. Send the invoice. Your agent finds the action, checks it and does it: one exact write, never retried, with a receipt. Checking is free. You pay when a request reaches a vendor. ``` find_actions "create a ticket for Acme" free check ok · permitted · 1 call · $0.0003 free do ✓ ticket #48112 · 1 call · 91 ms · on the record ``` Illustrative. The numbers are an example, not a benchmark. **Never cached.** A write is a write. The answer is never served from the pool. **Never retried.** A request that might have landed is never replayed. **Confirmed.** Destructive actions need an explicit `confirm: true`. 03Ask ## One question. Every system. One answer. Real questions span systems. actionlake fetches from each, joins them on the customer and returns the answer: four rows, not 2,400 pages. Rows never enter the model, so your token bill falls too. `finance.invoice.list` means the same thing across 101 connectors; `crm.contact.list` across 177. Ask again inside the cache window: free, and no hit to your vendor's rate limit. 04Plans and schedules ## Never build an automation _again._ Anything your agent does once, it can do again: save the run as a plan, or hand it a written procedure. Run it on demand or on a schedule. No flows. No scripts. **`0 8 * * 1`Every Monday. Without anyone.** Schedule any plan. It runs under its own key, inside its own budget. **`899 in the store`899 plans, ready.** The plan store has pre-written plans you install like a connector. **`approval · waiting`Pauses for a yes.** A plan can stop and wait for a named person, then carry on. Agents and schedules start the work. No triggers to wire. 05Connectors ## If it has an API, _your agent can reach it._ 1,000+ connectors, 289,000+ actions: accounting, PSA, CRM, identity, support, code and your own databases. System missing? Your agent reads its docs and builds the connector: tested and signed. **1,000+** connectors **289,000+** actions, each with a schema and a price Airtable ApprovalMax Asana Atera Autotask Auvik Azure Resource Manager BILL Bitwarden Box CIPP Claude API (Anthropic) ClickUp Cloudflare Confluence ConnectWise Automate ConnectWise PSA ConnectWise ScreenConnect CrowdStrike Falcon Datadog Datto RMM Deel Deputy DigitalOcean DocuSign Dropbox Employment Hero FreshBooks Freshdesk Freshservice GitHub GitLab Gmail Google Ads Google Analytics 4 Google Calendar Google Drive Google Sheets Gusto HaloPSA HubSpot CRM Hudu Huntress Intercom IT Glue Jira Jira Service Management JumpCloud Kaseya VSA Klaviyo Kubernetes Linear Mailchimp Microsoft 365 Mail Microsoft 365 Users Microsoft Dynamics 365 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Microsoft Intune Microsoft Power BI Microsoft SharePoint Microsoft Teams monday.com MYOB AccountRight MySQL N-able N-central NetSuite NinjaOne Notion Okta OpenAI Platform PagerDuty Pax8 PayPal Pipedrive PostgreSQL QuickBooks Online Redis / Valkey RingCentral Rippling Sage Intacct Salesforce Sales Cloud SentinelOne Singularity ServiceM8 ServiceNow ServiceTitan Shopify Admin Simpro Slack Sophos Central Square Stripe SuperOps RMM+PSA Syncro Trello Twilio Vanta WooCommerce Xero Zendesk Support Zoho CRM Zoom [+ 900 more](https://actionlake.com/connectors) Not in the catalogue? docs URL drafted validated signed Your agent reads the documentation and drafts the connector itself. Only live-tested actions are marked working. Eight tools, however many systems. Your agent never drowns in its toolbox. 06Control ## You set the limits. It stays _inside them._ ### One vault. Every key and token sealed under your tenant's own key. The agent never sees a credential. Neither does the prompt. connectwise api_key •••••••••••••••••••••••• **sealed on arrival** AES-256-GCM · tenant key agent sees: **al_key_desk_agent** · never the token ### Scope. Read-only. One system. One action. Or everything. Your call, per key. `keys.create "desk agent" · allowed_actions: read:*` ### Budget. A cap on every key, in calls. Budgets cascade: a worker can never exceed its parent. At the cap, the call is refused before it is sent. - orchestrator 0 - billing 0 - desk 0 - research 0 ### Approval. Sensitive actions stop and wait for a named person. The run pauses. They decide. It resumes. doPay $12,400 to Acme Ltd? run suspended · waiting for a named person · nothing sent yet Revoke one key and every key it minted stops. 07The record ## Everything it did. _And why._ Every action is recorded: who, what, which system, the cost, the result and the agent's reason. Records are chained and sealed daily, so a changed row shows. Each row carries the hash of the one before. Hashes shown are illustrative. 1. run_01hx…a2 key "desk agent" ask · quickbooks invoices + connectwise tickets $0.0003 ok prev `7b10…e4c2` sha256 `a3f9…c21e` whythe user asked which clients are overdue and have an urgent ticket open 2. run_01hx…b7 key "desk agent" do · connectwise service.ticket.create $0.0003 ok prev `a3f9…c21e` sha256 `0d77…91af` whythe user asked for a ticket for Acme's printer on level 2 3. run_01hx…c3 key "billing" do · quickbooks finance.payment.create · approved $0.0003 ok prev `0d77…91af` sha256 `5e2b…7d04` whypay the Acme Ltd bill; a named person approved it **Chain head sealed** to object storage, daily · a changed row shows 08Built for agents. Not bolted on. ## It sets _itself_ up. An agent can create its account, connect its systems, mint keys and cap budgets on its own, in its first minute. People get the same from one chat. A person steps in where a vendor's OAuth needs a sign-in. ``` tenant.create ✓ 100,000 free calls · no card connections.create ✓ connectwise · secret sealed on arrival keys.create ✓ cap 500 · service.ticket.query check ✓ permitted · 1 call · $0.0003 do ✓ done · key "desk agent" · on the record ``` Illustrative. Five calls, no person at the keyboard. 09Illustrative scenarios ## What a week with actionlake _looks like._ Three illustrations of the work, not customer quotes. We publish no testimonial we cannot attribute to a named customer. 1. _01_Operations at a managed IT provider_Illustrative scenario_ Every closed job never invoiced: the agent checks the PSA against the books, finds seventeen, drafts the invoices and waits for a yes. 2. _02_Platform engineering at an enterprise_Illustrative scenario_ A week of security-review screenshots becomes one screen: every run, who allowed it, what it cost, hash-chained. 3. _03_Finance at a professional services firm_Illustrative scenario_ The agent reads the books and the bank feed, writes nothing without approval, on a budget of a few dollars a month. 10Pricing ## US$0.00018100,000 actions free every month.

What it is, what it costs, how far an agent can go. **What is actionlake?** An MCP gateway for AI agents: one MCP server and eight tools that connect Claude and other MCP clients to 1,000+ connectors and 289,000+ actions. You set what each agent may touch and spend, and every action is recorded. The first 100,000 calls a month are free. **What is an MCP gateway?** One Model Context Protocol server between your agents and many systems. The agent connects once; the gateway holds the credentials, enforces limits and keeps the record. **Which AI tools work with actionlake?** Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp. Other MCP clients that support remote Streamable HTTP servers can add the same URL; we have tested Claude Code and the Claude app. Anything else can use the REST API. **Do I need to write code?** No. You ask in plain words and the agent picks the action. A person mints narrower keys and, for OAuth systems such as Xero, registers the vendor app and signs in once. **How much does actionlake cost?** 100,000 calls a month free, no card. Starter is US$49 a month for 250,000 calls. You pay only when a request reaches a vendor; searching, checking, planning and cached answers are free. No seats: people and agents are never counted. **Can I let an AI agent write to my accounting system?** You decide. A key can be read-only, limited to one system or action, and capped. Require approval for every write or only named actions. Writes are never retried, and every action is on a hash-chained record. **Where is my data stored?** In one region, DigitalOcean Sydney, stored in Australia; traffic passes through Cloudflare. Credentials are encrypted per tenant and never shown to the agent. No model sits on the data path, and your traffic never trains one. **What if a system I use is not connected yet?** Point your agent at the system's API docs. It drafts, tests and signs a connector, private to you unless you publish it. ## Every agent. Every system. One endpoint.
