ProblemConnectors install account-wide, so each one widens the blast radius for every Bot you will ever create.

TechniqueConnect per task, review installed connectors on a schedule, and remember that in a beta the surface area you have not connected is security work you did not have to do.

Why it worksA connector installed for one job is installed for every job, forever, including jobs that do not exist yet.

When to useEvery connector decision.
