When you connect apps like Slack or Notion to Breeze Assistant, someone will ask what the AI can change. HubSpot now lets you set that tool by tool. We walk through where the setting lives, what the three options mean, and how to set read and write tools in bulk. First thing to try: open Settings, Integrations, Connected Apps, pick an app, open its Settings tab, and set write tools to Ask permission.

Who it's for: HubSpot admins and ops leads using Breeze Assistant connectors (all plans) or connecting apps to HubSpot's AI agents (Starter and up for the hubs, Smart CRM Professional and up).

Our research first covered this on October 9, 2026. Here's where it stands as of our Oct 31, 2026 check. HubSpot's help articles (updated Oct 16 and Oct 21, 2026) put tool permissions under Settings, Integrations, Connected Apps, on each app's Settings tab. Our write-up described a Breeze section and called the middle option require confirmation. HubSpot's label is Ask permission. Our write-up said agents are available on Free. HubSpot lists Starter and up for connecting apps to agents. We couldn't confirm that trimming tools makes agents faster or more accurate. HubSpot recommends selecting only the tools an agent needs. Eight Breeze Assistant connectors were sunset on Sept. 26, 2026.
