Are.na
for LuumenAI
Read your Are.na channels and blocks, and file new research with approval.
Connect Are.na and Luumen can read your channels, blocks, and feed as context — what a channel already holds, who owns it, what was added recently. Changes like creating a channel, updating its fields, or filing a block into it are previewed first and run as approved steps. Luumen authenticates with an API key.

Questions
Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.
Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes — add to channels, create channel, delete channel, remove from channel, and more — is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 2 actions classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool, so you decide exactly which actions can ever run unattended.
You decide. Actions are granted per agent, skill, and team, and per environment — production is not staging. Read access can be broad while writes stay narrow.
Every call to Are.na — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result, and can be linked to the ticket or change record.
