Perplexity Connectors: Search Approved Work Files
References checked: 5 October 2026

Task: Can the connector find the correct document without broadening access?
Inputs: [provide a permitted source system, authorized scope, and a known test document]
Audience: [intended reader]
Required result: a source-grounded answer from the intended account.
Use approved sources and preserve dates, definitions, conditions, and exceptions. Separate confirmed facts, interpretation, and unresolved questions. Do not invent missing details. Show the evidence needed to review consequential claims. Ask one focused question if a missing requirement blocks the result.
Acceptance checks:
- Account identity is correct
- Access is appropriately scoped
- Evidence identifies the source
- Missing results are diagnosed

Practice
Use a fictional known document and an intentionally unavailable one to test result handling.
