info:
  title: Tanium Connect Actions Sources API
  description: The Tanium Connect REST API allows creating, editing, and managing connections for delivering endpoint data to downstream systems. Connections link data sources (saved questions, event data, system status) to destinations (files, syslog, HTTP/webhooks, email, SQL databases) and can run on a schedule or be triggered by events. All endpoints are under the /plugin/products/connect/v1/ base path.
