ChatGPT connectors basic vs agent mode

Schematic comparing a basic-mode hint set with a connector/agent-mode tool router that can route to many external connectors — Connectors surface: a schematic comparison of basic hinting vs connector/agent-mode routing to external services.

Text alternative (long description)

The diagram contrasts two modes:
- A basic mode box labeled with a small hint set.
- A connector/agent mode flow where a tool/connector router can route to many external connectors/services.
It includes a control-side callout describing server-side gating (least-privilege, explicit approvals, audit logs) and a risk-side callout indicating increased egress/write paths and indirect prompt injection exposure.
The page treats counts and connector lists shown in the diagram as schematic labels.

NOT VERIFIED: Any numeric counts or connector inventories depicted are treated as part of the diagram’s labels and are not asserted as current product facts.
