What Atlan (BYOK) is for

Atlan (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Atlan data through the Atlan API with a key you supply (Atlan API token (a role with read access is enough)). Read-only: 9 tools (search_assets_by_type, search_assets_by_name, list_connections, list_glossary_terms, list_glossary_categories, list_assets_by_certificate, get_asset, list_glossaries, get_lineage). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to *.atlan.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Atlan. Atlan and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "List the tables in my Atlan catalog"
• "Find Atlan assets named orders"
• "Which data connections exist in Atlan?"
• "What glossary terms are defined in Atlan?"
• "What glossary categories exist in Atlan?"
• "Which Atlan assets are certified as verified?"

What it does

• search_assets_by_type: Search active catalog assets of one type, for example Table, View, Column, Connection or AtlasGlossaryTerm, sorted by name.
• search_assets_by_name: Search active catalog assets whose name matches the given words, across all types.
• list_connections: List the data source connections (Snowflake, Postgres, dbt and so on) configured in Atlan.
• list_glossary_terms: List active business glossary terms with name, description and certificate status.
• list_glossary_categories: List active business glossary categories with name and description.
• list_assets_by_certificate: List active assets with a given certificate status: VERIFIED, DRAFT or DEPRECATED.
• get_asset: Get one catalog asset by GUID: type, status and its main attributes (name, qualified name, description, certificate status).
• list_glossaries: List the business glossaries with name, qualified name, short description and language.
• get_lineage: List assets upstream or downstream of an asset (data lineage) up to a depth, with name, type and qualified name.

BYOK key

You bring your own Atlan Atlan API token (a role with read access is enough) (https://docs.atlan.com/get-started/references/api-authentication). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to *.atlan.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

Atlan (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Atlan (BYOK) is. Atlan (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Atlan data: Search and read your Atlan data catalog: assets, connections, glossaries and terms, certified assets and lineage, with your own API token. You bring your own Atlan Atlan API token (a role with read access is enough); the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Atlan call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to *.atlan.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Atlan rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Atlan receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Atlan's own terms and privacy policy. Atlan acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Atlan gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Atlan data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Atlan (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Atlan at any time to end all access.

Children. Atlan (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Atlan's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
