Falcon runs every agent tool call: the right account, the provider's API, the result in the shape you defined. All from one YAML definition.
Agents connect over the API, MCP or A2A, and authenticate with OAuth, an API key or a short-lived session token.
Allowed or blocked first. Fields masked and PII redacted on the way back.
Build the request from the inputs. Shape the response into the action's fields.
The connected account's credentials go on the request.
Each step makes one kind of call: HTTP, GraphQL, any API, a browser or a private API.
Optional caching and data sync. Changes in synced data can raise events.
Reads every provider response: rate limits, retries and status mapping.
Outbound traffic only goes to validated destinations, from known addresses.
Each run is recorded before the result returns.

Each of these is solved once, in the connector's definition, so your agent never has to work around it.
Each connector is a YAML definition. Falcon reads it and builds the rest: the MCP tools, the API actions, synced data, webhooks, authentication and the version you run. That is what makes Falcon multi-protocol: it is not tied to an MCP definition or a tool schema. This is SAP SuccessFactors', trimmed.

This one is a major version because one change breaks callers, so a connector profile stays on the version you choose until you move it.
Connector versioningOAuth 2.0 with a signed SAML assertion, the refresh written as its own action, and the setup guide your customers follow in the same file. Oracle HCM's file offers basic auth and two OAuth flows side by side.
Agent Authlist_users becomes a tool any MCP client can call, marked read-only because of its effects, and an action on the REST API. The same definition answers both.
MCP serverDeclared syncable, the action's users are pulled on a schedule, page by page, and kept by userId. Agents query the synced copy through their own tool instead of calling SAP again.
Data syncWebhooks go in the same file when the provider has them. For providers without them, Falcon builds synthetic webhooks from data sync changes. Agent Webhooks
Because a connector is a definition, an agent can write one. It researches the API, writes the definition, tests it against a real account and writes the setup guide the connector's users need. See the AI Integration Builder.

On it. I'll start with the SuccessFactors API docs.
Gets better with every build. A failure fixed on one connector becomes a check on the next.

Find your API Server
SAP SuccessFactors uses a different API server host for each data center. You look up the API server that corresponds to your tenant domain, and paste it into the API Server field in StackOne Hub.
Find your username and Company ID
Your username and Company ID are both available from the account menu in the upper-right corner of SAP SuccessFactors.
Ensure you have Admin privileges for your SAP SuccessFactors account with the Manage Integration Tools > Manage OAuth2 Client Applications permission.

Healthcare · Customer story “The granular access at the account level for a connector is a huge help. So now I feel confident that we can create connectors to everything.”
An agent execution engine, such as StackOne's Falcon, is the layer between an AI agent and the apps it works in. The agent decides which action to call; the engine runs it. It loads the action's definition, applies policies, puts the right account's credentials on the request, deals with the provider's API and rate limits, and shapes the response.
Falcon is the engine behind the call, and MCP is one way to reach it. Agents call Falcon through the StackOne MCP server, the A2A protocol, the REST API or the AI Action SDK. Whichever route a call takes, Falcon does the same work behind it.
Falcon has no built-in human-in-the-loop approval step that pauses a call. To stop an agent taking an action, block it with a Permission Policy or leave the tool out of the session token you give the agent. Where a person must approve, ask for approval in your own app before the call reaches StackOne.
Falcon reduces tokens by returning only the fields an action's definition maps, not the provider's full payload, so less of the agent's context window goes on raw data. Tool discovery narrows the tools an agent sees before it chooses one, and policies can remove fields the agent should not see at all.
Yes, Falcon runs multi-tenant agents safely because each call names one connected account and runs with that account's credentials only. A session token can restrict an agent to named accounts and tools, and StackOne refuses calls to anything outside it. Every run is logged against its account.
Falcon calls REST, GraphQL and SOAP APIs, with pagination, and handles file uploads and downloads. A connector definition describes each provider's API. 540+ connectors are ready to use, and the AI Integration Builder adds new ones.
Falcon paces requests to the provider's limit as the connector configures it. When the provider still answers 429, Falcon waits for the Retry-After time or backs off, then retries within a set budget. If the budget runs out, the agent gets the error.
Falcon works with any agent framework. The AI Action SDK, in TypeScript and Python, has a guide for the OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, the Vercel AI SDK and Pydantic AI. Falcon sits between your framework and the apps the agent works in, so the framework does not change.
Falcon keeps agent tool execution secure at every step of the call. Policies are checked before the call runs, and each call uses only the named account's credentials. Outbound requests pass an egress proxy that refuses addresses inside StackOne's network. On the way back, denied fields are masked, results can be scanned for prompt injection, and every run is logged.
