Illustrative prompt. After connecting, check the source references and any saved result in Piply. This example is not a record of a completed tool call.

Account access and review

Sign-in authorizes the connection to your Piply account under the permissions you approve. Asking about one file does not restrict access to that file. Review the host’s tool controls and check generated content against your materials. Disconnecting does not retract information already sent to the host.
