## FAQ

### How does ClawQL handle API discovery for agents?

Agents call a search tool to discover relevant operations, which prevents the need to load entire API definitions into the prompt context.

### What protocols does ClawQL support for execution?

It supports OpenAPI, Google Discovery, native GraphQL, and gRPC sources.

### Can I use ClawQL with GraphQL-only vendors like Linear?

Yes, you can use the bundled SDL for Linear by setting the provider to linear, or point to an HTTP endpoint with auth headers.

### What are the core tools that cannot be disabled?

The core tools include search, execute, audit, and cache, which are always on and have no opt-out.
