Confirmation validates connector bindings, builder availability, the graph, and the trigger before writing. Every result names the workspace it ran in. Say which workspace the answer is about. When the account has more than one workspace and none is selected, this tool refuses with `workspace_ambiguous` and lists the choices — offer them, never pick one. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /api/v1/tools/automations.author openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Goosy Bear API version: 1.0.0-beta summary: Manage workspace content, projects, Data tables, Pages, library and credits. description: >- BETA. This API is in beta: paths, request shapes and response envelopes may change, and every response carries an `x-goosy-api: beta` header for as long as that is true.
