Which calls read, write or destroy
| When | Class |
|---|---|
| GET HEAD ^/ | read |
Without a matching rule, GET, HEAD and OPTIONS read, POST, PUT and PATCH write, and DELETE and any other method destroy. A recipe rule only raises a GET the vendor changes something with to a write. No recipe rule makes a call destructive.
Token IP filtering
If the provider can limit a token to IP addresses, allow Sallyport's outbound address. The connection form shows it, ready to copy.
Bring a service the catalogue has never seen
Add its web address and your key, and your agent uses it like any of the 827. If your agent runs into a service you haven’t added, it sends you a link.
