## About OpenAI with LuumenAI

Connect OpenAI with an API key and your team gets a working view of the account from the terminal: stored chat completions and their messages, transcriptions, embeddings, moderation checks, file downloads, and model details. Changes — creating evals, starting eval runs, building batches, cancelling work in flight — are previewed and approved before they run.

## Example tools

Read-only (66 in total):

- `OPENAI_COMPACT_RESPONSE` — Compact a conversation or response to reduce token usage.
- `OPENAI_CREATE_AUDIO_TRANSCRIPTION` — Transcribe audio files to text via OpenAI Audio Transcriptions API.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to OpenAI?

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 OpenAI on its own?

For connected tools, admins configure which actions may run automatically and which require approval, within the access granted to the user.

### Is there an audit trail?

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