The Tool Tester lets you try a connector’s tools before your team’s AI relies on them. You can run any tool by hand, see the exact request and the app’s answer, and turn off tools nobody in your organization should use. Open it from Settings › Tool Tester, or from a connector’s page with ⋯ › Test tools.

​
Who can use it

You need the Manage connections permission. Admins have it by default. The tester lists connectors that are ready to run:
  • connected with One account for everyone, or connected with your own account when Each person signs in
  • not waiting for you to reconnect or finish setup
If none are ready, the page says No connected, testable MCP connections are available. Add or connect a connector first.

​
Run a tool

  1. Choose a Connection. A badge next to it shows whether it’s Connected as you.
  2. Pick a tool from the list. Use Search tools to find one.
  3. Fill in its Arguments. Use Form for a field per input, or JSON to type them yourself.
  4. Click Run tool.
Each tool shows what the app says about it: Read-only, Destructive, or Not marked read-only. Before running a destructive tool, you must tick the Destructive tool warning box. Destructive tools can change or delete data in the app.

​
Read the result

After a run, choose a tab:
  • Result: what the tool returned.
  • Request: the exact request OpenWork sent to the app, with headers.
  • Response: the app’s HTTP answer, with headers.
A line across the top shows how far the call got: OpenWork, the connection to the app, and Tool result. If a call fails, this tells you whether it stopped in OpenWork, on the network, or at the app. Sign-in and session headers are hidden. Runs use the connection’s account and are never written to OpenWork’s logs. Recent runs lists this session’s runs so you can Load one again. They’re kept in this browser for this session only; OpenWork never stores run results.

​
Turn tools off for everyone

Turned-off tools are blocked in OpenWork for your whole organization: agents can’t find or call them, and members can’t run them.
  • One tool: use the switch next to the tool in the list. A turned-off tool shows Disabled. Click Enable tool to turn it back on.
  • Every tool on a connector: turn off Tools enabled for your organization, then confirm Disable all tools.
This is a good way to keep a connector’s read-only tools while blocking the ones that delete or change things.
