# The Tools tab

Everything about which AI tools on this machine are governed.

## Tool cards

One card per supported tool, each showing one of three states:

- **routed through Sentilai** — governed; its requests appear in the admin console.
- **detected** — installed, but still talking directly to the AI provider.
- **not detected** — not installed, or not where the app looks for it.

Each detected tool has **Connect** and, once governed, **Disconnect**.

## Govern all detected tools

The card at the top connects everything detected in one action and reports the result per
tool. See [Govern all detected tools](/books/connect-your-tools/page/govern-all-detected-tools).

## The provider-key warning

If your organization has not added a provider key yet, a warning sits above the tools:
connecting a tool that runs in managed mode will not route its requests anywhere useful.
Your admin adds the key on **Providers** in the console.

## Restart reminders

Every card that needs it says so. All of these tools read their configuration at startup
only, so a connect without a restart changes nothing.

## When buttons are missing

If your organization deploys a managed configuration, it can prevent disconnecting,
signing out, or ungoverning MCP servers. Where that applies, the button is absent and the
card says the setting is managed by your organization.
