About

Grain ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 19 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Grain brings AI meeting recordings, transcripts and highlights into a workflow — listing and reading recordings, pulling structured or plain-text transcripts, and managing who a recording is shared with. Actions cover the full recording lifecycle: list and filter recordings by team, meeting type or date, read a recording’s metadata and AI-generated summary content, fetch its transcript in JSON or as plain text/WebVTT/SubRip, and share or unshare it with individual users or whole teams.

Tagging actions add and remove labels on a recording for organization, and a dedicated upload flow mints a single-use URL a workflow can hand off to whatever has the actual video bytes — Grain then processes the file and reports the result through a webhook rather than synchronously. Webhook management actions let a workflow register, list and remove delivery targets for Grain’s own event notifications.

Read-only actions round out the picture: listing a workspace’s users, teams and configured meeting types, so a workflow can resolve names and IDs before acting on a specific recording.

Build with Grain

Three routes to the same 19 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Grain's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Hook

hook-create

Register a URL to receive Grain's recording/highlight/story/upload-status events. Grain verifies the URL answers 2xx before the hook is created.

Delete Hook

hook-delete

Delete a registered hook.

List Hooks

hook-list

List registered hooks, optionally filtered by type or state.

List Meeting Types

meeting-type-list

List the workspace's meeting types.

Download Recording

recording-download

Download a recording's media file, base64-encoded.

Get Recording

recording-get

Fetch a single recording by id, with optional includes.

List Recordings

recording-list

List recordings visible to this credential, with optional filtering and includes.

Share Recording to a Team

recording-share-team

Share a recording with a workspace team.

Share Recording to a User

recording-share-user

Share a recording with a workspace user.

Add Tag to Recording

recording-tag-add

Add a tag to a recording.

Remove Tag from Recording

recording-tag-remove

Remove a tag from a recording.

Get Recording Transcript (text format)

recording-transcript-download

Fetch a recording's transcript as plain text, WebVTT (.vtt) or SubRip (.srt).

Get Recording Transcript (JSON)

recording-transcript-get

Fetch a recording's transcript as structured entries (speaker, start, end, text).

Unshare Recording from a Team

recording-unshare-team

Remove a workspace team's access to a shared recording.

Unshare Recording from a User

recording-unshare-user

Remove a workspace user's access to a shared recording.

Update Recording

recording-update

Rename a recording.

Create Recording Upload URL

recording-upload-create

Mint a single-use URL to PUT a .mov/.mp4/.mp3/.m4a file to — the bytes never pass through this workflow. Grain notifies upload_status hooks once processing finishes.

List Teams

team-list

List the workspace's teams.

List Users

user-list

List the workspace's users.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Grain's real ids.

+14 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Grain, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Grain. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({

Give an AI agent Grain — without giving it Grain's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.grain#hook-create",
    "input": {
      "hookUrl": "<hookUrl>",
      "hookType": "<hookType>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Grain connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Grain's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Grain itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Grain declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
