## FAQ

### What are the different ways an AI client can connect?

Clients can connect using MCP, a versioned REST API, or a simple GET link for chat AIs that only support HTTP GET.

### How are changes made by the AI applied to my flows?

The AI submits proposals that appear on the admin dashboard; a human must review the diff and approve the proposal to deploy the changes.

### How long do access links last?

Default TTL is 4 hours, but GET links are capped at 24 hours, while REST and MCP links can last up to 30 days.
