From 27ac17dd596c26caf420ef32ea4795ba904cfd7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben McAdams Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 15:41:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Broaden zapier-sdk-explorer scope beyond durable workflows The agent was previously scoped exclusively to durable-workflow authoring, so callers researching read-only SDK questions (available actions, action parameters, connections) skipped it and reinvented action discovery by hand. Broaden the description and body to cover any read-only SDK investigation, with two documented output modes: prose + cited commands for one-off questions (default), or the existing JSON build-plan contract for durable-workflow authoring. Grounding rules, tool allowlist, investigation strategy, and JSON schema are unchanged. --- agents/zapier-sdk-explorer.md | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/agents/zapier-sdk-explorer.md b/agents/zapier-sdk-explorer.md index 45fe323..5651f08 100644 --- a/agents/zapier-sdk-explorer.md +++ b/agents/zapier-sdk-explorer.md @@ -1,15 +1,20 @@ --- name: zapier-sdk-explorer -description: Use when authoring a Zapier SDK durable workflow and you need to resolve the exact `implementation_id`, keys, connection IDs, and input-field choices before writing `workflow.ts`.
