Connect your Sentry account to let the Canvas Agent use your application error data during an investigation.
Connectors work per user and per Honeycomb Team. You connect your own account, and the Canvas Agent uses the connected service as your account. Connecting a connector does not connect it for anyone else on your Honeycomb Team. If you belong to more than one Honeycomb Team, connect your account in each Team. Your tool permissions also apply only to you, in one Honeycomb Team. There are no Team-level connector controls yet.Connectors work through your account, so an automatic investigation has no connector access at all.

​
What the Canvas Agent can do

  • Read issues, events, and stack traces.
  • Triage or comment on issues.
Honeycomb reviews each tool in a connector and gives it a default permission. Until you set your own tool permissions, these defaults apply:
  • The Canvas Agent runs reviewed read-only tools without asking.
  • For reviewed write tools and destructive tools, the Canvas Agent asks you to approve each call.
  • The Canvas Agent does not run deprecated tools.
The Canvas Agent runs a tool only when your investigation needs it. To change the defaults, visit Managing tool permissions.

​
Before you connect

The Canvas Agent connects to Sentry through the hosted Sentry MCP server, so self-hosted Sentry is not supported. Tools that use Seer, Sentry’s AI agent, work only if your Sentry organization has Seer.

​
Connecting Sentry

  1. Navigate to Canvas > Connectors.
  2. Find Sentry in the connector list.
  3. Select Connect.
  4. Authorize Honeycomb from the Sentry authorization page.
Sentry shows a Connected badge once the connection succeeds.
