Glean Toolkit

The Glean toolkit connects Arcade to a Glean enterprise deployment, exposing the Glean Client API so authorized users can search their organization's indexed content directly from Arcade workflows.

Capabilities

• Enterprise search: Query the user's Glean index and retrieve permission-filtered, ranked results scoped to the authenticated user.
• Paginated results: Page through results using offset and limit; has_next_page signals additional pages, with offset paging supported up to ~2 000 results (roughly 20 pages × 100 items).
• Fail-loud safety: Raises errors rather than returns misleading partial or empty pages — enforced when the fetch budget is exhausted before the requested window is filled or when offsets exceed the supported depth.
• Result trimming with transparency: When individual result items are large, the result list is trimmed to a size budget; truncated flags this condition and has_next_page remains true so callers can page forward or narrow the query.

OAuth

This toolkit uses OAuth 2.0. The provider is custom/self-hosted Glean (provider ID not registered with a standard Arcade provider page), so no standard Arcade provider docs link applies. OAuth credentials and the authorization flow are managed through your Glean enterprise deployment.

Secrets

• GLEAN_API_URL: The base URL of your organization's Glean API endpoint (e.g., https://<your-company>-be.glean.com). This URL is specific to your Glean enterprise instance. Obtain it from your Glean administrator or by locating your deployment's backend host in the Glean Admin Console. It is typically documented alongside other API integration details under your company's Glean deployment settings. This is required so the toolkit can route requests to the correct tenant rather than a shared Glean endpoint.
