FAQ

Can a WorkAist AI agent really automate Octopus Accountancy end-to-end?

Yes. The connector exposes read and write tools through Model Context Protocol. AI agents call them through plain-language instructions in a CLAUDE.md file — no glue code.

How does this differ from using the Octopus Accountancy API directly?

The connector adds permission isolation, audit logging, cost tracking per agent, and reversible PII redaction at the LLM boundary. It also presents Octopus Accountancy as part of a unified Knowledge Graph alongside your other tools.

What does it cost?

WorkAist is open-source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hosted, so the connector itself is free. You pay only for Octopus Accountancy's own API costs (if any) and the LLM tokens your agent consumes.

Is my Octopus Accountancy data sent to a third party?

No. WorkAist runs in your own infrastructure. Data flows from Octopus Accountancy → your WorkAist instance → the LLM you choose. Sensitive fields can be tokenized before reaching the LLM.

What if Octopus Accountancy changes its API?

The connector is versioned and published openly. When Octopus Accountancy ships breaking changes, we bump the connector version and the marketplace UI surfaces the upgrade as a one-click apply.
