Ably
for LuumenAI

Read channel, presence, and push state in Ably, then publish with approval

Connect Ably with an API key and Luumen can answer questions about your real-time layer directly in the terminal: which channels are active, who is present, what a channel's recent message history looks like, and which devices are registered for push. When you need to act, Luumen previews the publish or registration change and asks before sending it.

Questions

How does LuumenAI connect to Ably?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

Can LuumenAI change things in Ably on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes — delete channel subscription, patch push device registration, batch publish messages, publish message to channel, and more — is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 3 actions classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool, so you decide exactly which actions can ever run unattended.

Who gets access to the integration?

You decide. Actions are granted per agent, skill, and team, and per environment — production is not staging. Read access can be broad while writes stay narrow.

Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Ably — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result, and can be linked to the ticket or change record.
