Published data and actions
Controlled exposure of FlexPortals capabilities
FlexPortals integrates with other systems while securely exposing approved data, queries and business functions to external applications and AI systems.
GraphQL
We have made the full data set accessible without compromising the FlexPortals permission model at the action, object or data level. Rather than opening a separate, parallel access channel, we provide a query layer built on the existing authorization logic.
GraphQL exposure can be configured in detail: which objects may be published, which of their fields are visible and under which names they appear. Native Flex object and field names do not have to be exposed.
Virtual fields can also be created to aggregate values from multiple data points or related objects. Queries can be cached, invalidation rules can be configured, and a GraphQL query can even be mapped to a simple API call using only a query identifier.
The system can publish MCP tools that expose approved FlexPortals capabilities to AI systems. An AI client can then invoke governed platform functions as well as return text.
Within our MCP framework, business logic, GraphQL query results and custom business processes can be published quickly. The focus is not on unrestricted automation, but on ensuring that AI can access only approved, auditable operations.
The AI can execute only business workflows that remain under full Flex system oversight. Security, access control, logging and quality requirements are built into both tool design and runtime execution.
AI-assisted development oversight
We continue to expand the role of AI in development, with clear expectations and guardrails that help AI tools extend the existing platform consistently without weakening oversight.
Prompts and development guidelines live where current tooling expects them, giving subagents the context they need. This keeps multi-agent work controlled, reviewable and aligned with the FlexPortals architecture.
This approach is especially important in integration work: AI can accelerate delivery, but the boundaries of published capabilities, data access and quality expectations are still set by system rules.
