Overview

This CDK catalogue package is pinned to @activepieces/piece-brave-search@0.1.0 and declares 2 declared actions and no declared triggers. Its definition is derived from the exact reviewed Activepieces source.

Provider runtime verification is recorded separately when an approved test connection is exercised; this catalogue entry does not claim that verification.

Setup

Setup

Create a tenant connection only in the consuming Studio instance when this connector is made available there. Credentials remain in that tenant's Vault-backed connection and are not stored in CDK package metadata.

Limitations

The package has passed deterministic offline package-load and contract validation. No provider credentials, provider API call or live webhook delivery is represented by this release state.
