list_apps is the read-only connected-app inventory. Use it before a workflow that depends on Gmail, Google Drive, Notion, Linear or another account the human controls.

Signature

code

list_apps({ provider? })

Input fields:

Field	Type	Required	Meaning
`provider`	string	no	One exact app slug, such as `notion`. Omit it to list every app available to this workspace.

Example requests:

code

{ "name": "list_apps", "arguments": {} }

code

{ "name": "list_apps", "arguments": { "provider": "notion" } }

Return shape

The result contains only the agent-safe workspace projection:

code

{
  "count": 1,
  "apps": [
    {
      "provider": "notion",
      "name": "Notion",
      "connected": false,
      "capability_count": 4,
      "live_capability_count": 3,
      "connect_url": "https://scrollport.com/connect/notion"
    }
  ],
  "next_step": "Only the human can open connect_url and approve access. After they finish, call list_apps again to confirm the connection."
}

connect_url appears only while an app is disconnected. A connected result omits it. If no apps are available, the response says to continue with ready-to-run catalog tools. If every requested app is connected, continue to search_tools for the outcome you want.

Human approval and privacy boundary

list_apps never starts OAuth, creates or polls a connection session, disconnects an app, or exposes an external account identity, connection id, credential or provider token. The human must open connect_url, sign in if needed and approve access on Scrollport. Call list_apps again only after the human says the flow is complete.

The inventory follows the same publication and workspace allowlist rules as the connected-apps dashboard. A shared connection profile does not make one workspace's hidden app visible to another workspace.

Common errors

Unknown provider: call list_apps({}) and use one returned slug.
Blank provider: omit it to list all apps.
Extra input fields: call list_apps({}) or list_apps({ provider: "notion" }) only.

list_apps is read-only and free. App capabilities remain catalog data: use search_tools, then inspect_tool, before run_tool.
