External services
Clugins AI Tool Builder can connect to external AI provider services when a site administrator configures a tool to use one of those providers.
External services are contacted only when an administrator tests a tool in the admin area or when a visitor submits a published frontend AI tool. The plugin sends the configured request payload for that tool to the selected provider.
This may include visitor-submitted form values, prompts, text fields, selected options, uploaded or referenced media URLs if configured by the site administrator, model settings, endpoint settings, request template values, and other values defined by the site administrator in the tool configuration.
Site owners must bring their own provider credentials where required. Provider tokens are used server-side to authenticate requests to the selected service. Site owners are responsible for choosing the provider, endpoint, model, request template, and output mapping for each tool.
Provider usage may be subject to that provider’s pricing, terms, privacy policies, rate limits, model behavior, and service availability.
The plugin can connect to the following external services depending on the provider selected for a tool:
Replicate
This plugin can connect to Replicate to run AI models selected and configured by the site administrator. Replicate is used only when the administrator chooses Replicate as the provider for a tool and adds their own Replicate API token and model settings.
When a Replicate-powered tool is used, the plugin sends the configured request data to Replicate. This may include visitor-submitted form values, prompts, text fields, selected options, uploaded or referenced media URLs if configured by the site administrator, model owner/name/version settings, and any additional request values defined in the tool’s input JSON/template.
This data is sent when an administrator runs an admin test request or when a visitor submits a frontend tool that has been configured to use Replicate.

This may include visitor-submitted form values, prompts, text fields, selected options, uploaded or referenced media URLs if configured by the site administrator, model settings, and any additional request values defined in the tool’s request template.

OpenAI-compatible APIs
This plugin can connect to OpenAI-compatible API endpoints configured by the site administrator. This provider is used only when the administrator chooses OpenAI-compatible APIs as the provider for a tool and adds their own API endpoint, API credentials, and model settings.
When an OpenAI-compatible tool is used, the plugin sends the configured request data to the selected OpenAI-compatible endpoint. This may include visitor-submitted form values, prompts, text fields, selected options, uploaded or referenced media URLs if configured by the site administrator, model settings, endpoint settings, and any additional request values defined in the tool’s request template.
This data is sent when an administrator runs an admin test request or when a visitor submits a frontend tool that has been configured to use an OpenAI-compatible API.
The actual service provider depends on the endpoint configured by the site administrator. Site owners should review the terms and privacy policy of the API provider they connect.

Custom API
This plugin can connect to a custom external API endpoint configured by the site administrator. Custom API is used only when the administrator chooses Custom API as the provider for a tool and configures the endpoint, request method, authentication settings if needed, request template, and output mapping.
When a Custom API-powered tool is used, the plugin sends the configured request data to the custom endpoint selected by the site administrator. This may include visitor-submitted form values, prompts, text fields, selected options, uploaded or referenced media URLs if configured by the site administrator, endpoint settings, request headers if configured, and any additional request values defined in the tool’s request template.
This data is sent when an administrator runs an admin test request or when a visitor submits a frontend tool that has been configured to use Custom API.
The actual service provider depends on the endpoint configured by the site administrator. Site owners should review the terms and privacy policy of the API or service provider they connect.
Security and privacy
Provider execution happens server-side. Provider tokens are stored server-side and are not exposed to frontend visitors. Public tool settings omit saved auth tokens.
Admin diagnostics and raw response views redact common sensitive values. Frontend submissions accept only known layout input keys from the saved tool. User-defined external URLs are validated to block localhost, private, and local network targets where applicable.
Generated remote image storage for image results allows only selected image MIME types and enforces a size limit before registering Media Library attachments.
