Connections, consumers and distributor orders, worked for you
A companion works the 27 operations your Universal API account exposes. It can update a connection and delete a consumer, and every one of those waits on an approval card showing the connection before it changes.
Open the connection. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Universal API afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a connection until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Universal API exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 27 operations, 22 reads and 5 writes. In practice that means it can update a connection, delete a consumer and delete a connection, and work across the connections, consumers and distributor orders.
The Universal API API stops at Universal API. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Which Universal API connections does a companion see?
22 of the 27 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can track shipment, list MDM VPP tokens and list MDM devices, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Universal API's documentation.
The connections are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the consumers. A companion can hold all 27 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Universal API admin becomes a queue you review.

Can it change a connection without asking?
All 5 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a connection, delete a consumer and delete a connection, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the connection, the field and the new value before it lands in Universal API.
Nothing in Universal API is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the connection exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

- Delete Consumer
- Delete Connection
- Create Distributor Order

Can the connections pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Universal API connections pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the engineering admin, the Universal API connections sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
