Goal

Connect and manage integrations safely with clear troubleshooting steps.

​
Steps

  1. Open Alter settings and go to integrations or tool manager.
  2. Connect one integration at a time and test immediately.
  3. Confirm required permissions and account scopes.
  4. Create a simple test prompt to verify expected behavior.
  5. If failures occur, review provider auth and retry.

​
Managing Many Tools

Enabling many tools increases context window usage and impacts performance. For most workflows, use Flow - Alter’s tool orchestrator that automatically selects the right tool for each request.

Use Flow for Tool Orchestration

Flow reduces context usage by acting as a single tool that routes requests to the appropriate integration automatically.
 Instead of loading all tools into every request, Flow:
  • Analyzes your request and selects the right tool
  • Handles multi-step orchestration across tools
  • Reduces context window usage and improves performance
Enable Flow in Tool Manager under Local Tools > Alter.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Re-authenticate provider connection.
  • Confirm local/network permissions.
  • Check integration-specific limits and quotas.
