Core objects
A 60-second map of the connect0 object model — account, project, agent, thread, run — and where connectors, skills, and models fit.
Updated 7/26/2026
connect0 has a small object model. Learn these five nouns and almost everything in the dashboard, the MCP tools, and the docs will make sense.
The five nouns
- Account — your organization. It owns members, billing, and every project underneath it. One account per company or team is typical.
- Project — an isolated workspace inside an account, with its own
sandbox (
/workspace) and its own connectors. Work happens inside a project. - Agent — a configured principal that runs inside a project. It has a model, a set of tools and skills it may call, and an optional persona. Agents are members of the account just like humans are.
- Thread — a conversation with an agent. It holds the message history for that exchange.
- Run — one agent turn inside a thread. Each run records the model calls, tool calls, cost, and outcome, so you can see exactly what the agent did.
The dashboard URL mirrors this nesting:
/a/<account>/p/<project>/….

Where the supporting pieces fit
- Connectors attach a data source or third-party service (GitHub, Postgres, Google Drive) to a project. An agent can only use a connection you have granted it.
- Skills and tools are the capabilities an agent may call — from the
built-in
shandinfotools up to custom skills. They are scoped per agent and audited on every call. - Models are what an agent thinks with. Each agent picks a runtime model from the catalog; see Choosing a model.
- Memory and personas are account-scoped and reused across agents — what an agent remembers and how it communicates.
Where to go next
- Accounts and projects for the tenancy model and what is scoped where.
- Threads and runs for how a conversation turns into recorded work.
- Create an agent to put an agent in a project.
