What Box Governance (BYOK) is for

Box Governance (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Box Governance data through the Box Governance API with a key you supply (developer token or OAuth access token (developer tokens expire quickly)). Read-only: 8 tools (list_retention_policies, get_retention_policy, list_retention_policy_assignments, list_file_version_retentions, list_legal_hold_policies, get_legal_hold_policy, list_legal_hold_assignments, list_file_version_legal_holds). 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 api.box.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Box Governance. Box Governance 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:

• "Which retention policies does our Box account have?"
• "What are the settings of Box retention policy 11111?"
• "Which folders does Box retention policy 11111 apply to?"
• "Which Box file versions are due for disposition under policy 11111?"
• "Which legal hold policies are active in our Box account?"
• "What is Box legal hold policy 22222?"

What it does

• list_retention_policies: List the enterprise's retention policies with type, length in days, disposition action, status and assignment counts. Needs Box Governance and the manage retention policies scope.
• get_retention_policy: Get one retention policy by id with its length, disposition action, owner-extension settings and assignment counts.
• list_retention_policy_assignments: List where a retention policy applies (folders, the whole enterprise or a metadata template), with assignment time.
• list_file_version_retentions: List retention records of file versions (when the retention was applied and when the file version is due for disposition), filtered by file, policy or date.
• list_legal_hold_policies: List the enterprise's legal hold policies with status, description, custodian assignment counts and date filters. Needs Box Governance.
• get_legal_hold_policy: Get one legal hold policy by id with status, description, date filters and assignment counts.
• list_legal_hold_assignments: List what a legal hold policy is assigned to (users, folders, files, file versions), with assignment time.
• list_file_version_legal_holds: List file versions held by a legal hold policy, with the file name and the assignments that hold them.

BYOK key

You bring your own Box Governance developer token or OAuth access token (developer tokens expire quickly) (https://app.box.com/developers/console). 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 api.box.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.

Box Governance (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

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

What Box Governance (BYOK) is. Box Governance (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Box Governance data: Read your Box retention policies, retention assignments, legal hold policies and file-version retention records with your own developer or OAuth token. You bring your own Box Governance developer token or OAuth access token (developer tokens expire quickly); the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Box Governance 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 api.box.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 Box Governance 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 Box Governance receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Box Governance's own terms and privacy policy. Box Governance acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Box Governance 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 Box Governance 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. Box Governance (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 Box Governance at any time to end all access.

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

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