## About Stack Exchange with LuumenAI

Stack Exchange holds a lot of the troubleshooting knowledge your team already leans on. Luumen reads it directly: similar questions for an error you are chasing, answers and their comment threads, collective questions and tags. When you want a custom API filter to shape future responses, Luumen shows the field list first and waits for your approval.

## Example tools

Read-only (120 in total):

- `STACK_EXCHANGE_FIND_SIMILAR_QUESTIONS` — Find questions similar to a hypothetical one based on a title and optional tag combination.
- `STACK_EXCHANGE_GET_ACCESS_TOKENS` — Read the properties for a set of access tokens obtained via OAuth 2.0.
- `STACK_EXCHANGE_GET_ANSWER_COMMENTS` — Retrieve comments on a set of answers from Stack Exchange.
- `STACK_EXCHANGE_GET_ANSWER_FLAG_OPTIONS` — Fetch valid flag options for a specific answer.
- `STACK_EXCHANGE_GET_ANSWERS_BY_IDS` — Retrieve a set of answers by their IDs from a Stack Exchange site.
- `STACK_EXCHANGE_GET_BADGE_RECIPIENTS_BY_IDS` — Retrieve recently awarded badges constrained to a specific set of badge IDs.
- `STACK_EXCHANGE_GET_BADGES_BY_IDS` — Retrieve badges by their IDs on a Stack Exchange site.
- `STACK_EXCHANGE_GET_COLLECTIVE_ANSWERS` — Retrieve answers belonging to the specified collective(s) on a Stack Exchange site.

Write and destructive (1 in total, subject to configured approval policy):

- `STACK_EXCHANGE_CREATE_FILTER` — Create a custom filter for Stack Exchange API responses.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Stack Exchange?

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 Stack Exchange 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 Stack Exchange — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
