## About Basecamp with LuumenAI

Connect Basecamp and Luumen can read the project side of your work: message boards, card tables, schedules, Campfire lines, and check-in answers. Ask what shipped this week or which cards are stuck, and get an answer from the live data. Changes — a new card, a document, a chatbot post — are previewed and sent for approval first. Auth is OAuth2.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Basecamp?

Authorize once with OAuth 2.0. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Basecamp on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 11 actions classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Basecamp — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
