## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Google Drive?

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 Google Drive on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 12 actions classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool.

### Is there an audit trail?

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