No universal list of required connections can be verified from the cited guidance. For a bounded workflow, the practical minimum is the human-oversight process plus—when approvals are part of the flow—the sign-off request and the human decision step. This narrow scope does not imply a connection to every existing application, data source, or communication channel.
Parts that need a connection check
| Stack component | What to check | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Human-oversight process | Whether the add-on can be incorporated into a process for human oversight that is defined, assessed, and documented. | A cited AI risk-management resource says that processes for human oversight should be defined, assessed, and documented. It does not identify a required application or interface. |
| Approval/sign-off path | Whether the request stage can be automated while a person remains the decision-maker. | A cited workflow reference says that sign-off requests can be automated and combined with human decision-making. |
| Other tools, data, and channels | Whether the selected workflow actually needs each proposed connection. | Neither cited source establishes a universal requirement for these additional connections. |
The human-oversight item may be handled through an existing process rather than a direct connector; the cited material does not settle that implementation choice. If the stack has no approval workflow, the approval item is not a required connection. If that workflow exists, both the request and human-decision stages belong in the check.
How to check the current stack
A practical check follows a bounded workflow rather than the full tool inventory.
- Set the boundary. The team identifies where work enters, where a person decides, and where the result is handed off.
- Locate oversight. The team identifies the process for human oversight and records what the add-on would need to make available for its definition, assessment, and documentation. The reference gives no interface, permission, or data-field list.
- Trace approvals. When sign-off exists, the team follows the request and the person's decision. The workflow reference supports automating the request while retaining human decision-making; it does not turn the request into the decision.
- Screen additional connections. Each proposed connector is tied to a specific workflow action. Without that link, the connection remains conditional rather than part of the minimum scope.
- Check the handoff. The team verifies that the person can make the decision in the existing workflow and that the oversight process can still be defined, assessed, and documented with the add-on in place.
What the team must still confirm
The cited guidance does not supply a connector inventory for a particular stack. Separate confirmation is still needed for:
- the exact systems in use and the component that holds the relevant records;
- whether an approval step exists, where its request is sent, and who makes the decision;
- the interfaces, permissions, data fields, and documentation the add-on would need;
- whether the proposed connection supports the identified handoff while leaving the human decision in the workflow; and
- whether any other connection has a demonstrable workflow purpose.
These implementation details are not specified by the cited sources and should not be inferred from them. The evidence-backed answer is therefore narrow: cover the human-oversight process and any existing approval or sign-off flow, while treating every other connection as conditional.
