Questions
Shape and Minor Planet Center, answered
What can start an automation from Shape?
Any of Shape's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Record. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Minor Planet Center when something happens in Shape?
Any of Minor Planet Center's 11 actions, including Find MPECs, Find near-duplicate observations, Get action code and Get magnitude band. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Minor Planet Center to Shape?
Minor Planet Center has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Shape. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Minor Planet Center's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Shape or Minor Planet Center?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Shape and Minor Planet Center without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
