Diagnosing Connector Failures Correctly (CCAO-F)

Manage uploaded knowledge and connectors (e.g., Google Drive, Gmail)

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Diagnosing a connector failure means distinguishing a genuine malfunction from an attempt to use the connector outside its documented capability boundary. A connector operating within its boundary but unable to perform an out-of-scope action is not broken. The correct first diagnostic step is checking the connector's documented capabilities against the attempted action; misrouting the fix by re-adding the connector or filing a bug wastes effort when the real issue is a boundary mismatch.
