Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

  • I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

I can now configure external tools, but I want the external tool to know which account it's requesting so it returns the correct information.

For example, if I create an external tool that searches email, I don't want it to search my colleague's email.

Desired Solution you'd like

A secure way to also provide the external tool with the current account that is performing the search.
