Frequently asked questions

What can I automate with Nasa on Definable?

Anything Nasa exposes through its API. Common developer tools workflows on Definable include triage issues, review pull requests, monitor builds. Personas can call any of the 136 Nasa tools directly, then chain the result into another integration without you writing code.

How does Nasa authentication work?

Nasa uses API_KEY on Definable. You connect once from the integrations page, scoped to the permissions you choose, and from then on any persona that has the integration enabled can act on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted at rest and rotated automatically.

Is the Nasa integration included in my Definable plan?

Yes — every Definable plan, including Starter, includes access to all 136 Nasa tools. You only need a separate Nasa subscription if Nasa itself charges per seat or per API call.

Is using Nasa through Definable secure?

Every call from a persona to Nasa is logged with the user, persona, prompt, and response. Tokens never leave Definable's secrets vault, scopes are configurable per persona, and you can revoke access at any time from the integration page.

How do I get started with Nasa on Definable?

Sign up for Definable, open the integrations page, find Nasa, and connect via OAuth or API key. You can immediately attach Nasa to any persona and start running workflows. The free Starter plan includes 5,000 credits/month.

What Nasa actions does Definable expose?

Definable exposes all 136 Nasa actions as callable tools — including `Browse Near Earth Objects`, `Create Graph Request`, `Delete CMR Association`, plus 133 more. Each tool gets a typed parameter schema so personas know exactly how to call it.
