Griptape for AI agents

Griptape is a platform for building, deploying, and scaling generative AI applications with reusable assistants, structures, and data connectors. Teams building AI products use it to add this capability without training or hosting their own model. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Griptape through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('griptape', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_rule
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_rule

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Griptape connects.

Users add their Griptape api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Griptape connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Griptape and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Griptape with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Griptape to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Griptape actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Griptape?

Users add their Griptape api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Griptape actions can my agent take?

143 in total: 69 read, 55 write and 19 destructive, such as “create Rule”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Griptape?

Yes. Actions like “delete Rule” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Griptape too?

Yes. The same Griptape connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
