Operations 5

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

POST /connections Create a connection between a source and destination · Airbyte Create a Connection #

Ask an LLM

“How do I connect a source to a destination so data starts syncing?”

“Can I set a sync schedule and stream prefix when I first create a connection?”

Tell an agent

Create a connection from source {sourceId} to destination {destinationId}.

Create a connection named {name} syncing source {sourceId} into destination {destinationId} with prefix {prefix}.

GET /connections List connections · Airbyte List Connections #

Ask an LLM

“How do I list all the connections in my workspaces?”

“Can I filter my connections by tag?”

Tell an agent

List connections in workspace {workspaceIds}.

List connections tagged {tagIds}.

GET /connections/{connectionId} Get a connection's details · Airbyte Get Connection Details #

Ask an LLM

“How do I see the configuration and schedule of one connection?”

“Which source and destination does a given connection use?”

Tell an agent

Get connection {connectionId}.

Show the schedule and stream settings of connection {connectionId}.

PATCH /connections/{connectionId} Update an existing connection · Airbyte Update Connection Details #

Ask an LLM

“How do I change the sync schedule of a connection that already exists?”

“Can I pause an existing connection by changing its status?”

Tell an agent

Change the schedule of connection {connectionId} to {schedule}.

Set the status of connection {connectionId} to {status}.

DELETE /connections/{connectionId} Delete a connection · Airbyte Delete a Connection #

Ask an LLM

“How do I delete a connection I don't need anymore?”

“Can I remove a connection without deleting its source and destination?”

Tell an agent destructive · confirm first

Delete connection {connectionId}.

Remove the connection {connectionId} permanently.
