Overview

List Private Content Connectors returns all private content connectors the user can access — Email, Investment Research, and SharePoint. It is the starting point for understanding which private sources are connected before browsing documents or searching within a specific connector.

​
When to Use

List Private Content Connectors is ideal for:
  • Source inventory: Seeing which email, broker research, and SharePoint connectors are available
  • Corpus discovery: Understanding connected sources before searching private content
  • Connector status: Checking last sync time, document counts, and sync health
  • Scoped follow-ups: Resolving a connector label or connector_id for document listing or tag-scoped search

​
How It Works

  1. Call bigdata_list_connectors — no parameters required
  2. Review each connector’s type, label, document count, and last sync status
  3. Use the returned connector_id with bigdata_list_documents, or the label to scope bigdata_search with a label: tag

Practical Tips

​
Reading sync status

  • Focus on active connectors when summarizing sources; archived connectors are usually less relevant unless reviewing inactive sources
  • FAILURE or DISABLED on last_sync_status means the connector needs attention — DISABLED indicates repeated sync failures that caused the system to disable it

​
Searching within a connector

The connector label maps to an auto-tag on ingested documents. Scope search with that label — for example, pass tags: label:Legal in the bigdata_search context when exploring content from a connector labeled “Legal”.

​
From connectors to documents

Use bigdata_list_documents with the returned connector_id to browse files from a specific source, or bigdata_list_tags with prefix="label:" to see connector labels as tags.
