What gateway_query does on Yaver

AI agents call gateway_query to retrieve information from Yaver without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
params object Optional string params substituted into the capability flow ({key} placeholders)
connector string Yes Connector id (e.g. 'google')
capability string Yes Read capability id on that connector (e.g. 'next_event')

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why gateway_query needs a policy

Even though gateway_query only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
