About assistants
Which assistants can I use?
ChatGPT and Claude today. Microsoft 365 Copilot is listed in the application as coming soon. Other MCP-compatible clients can connect to the same endpoint. See Supported AI Platforms.
Does connecting an assistant give it access to everything in SiteTrax.io?
No. It sees only the projects shared with the account that authorized it.
Can an assistant change my data?
Standard operational access is read-only. OnlyCreating a detection alert or scheduled digest, or cancelling either, also needs sitetrax:notifications:write and your explicit confirmation of the separatechange. Listing notifications writeand scopedelivery allowshistory anythingrequires toread access only. The extra permission can be createdrequested initially or cancelled,later depending on the client. It does not allow general record edits or arbitrary email recipients. See Alerts and itScheduled isDigests.
Do I need to enter my SiteTrax.io password into the assistant?
No, and you should not. Authorization is completed on the SiteTrax.io sign-in screen.
Why did I return to the dashboard while connecting?
Registration or email verification can interrupt the return to the assistant. Finish verifying your account, confirm the intended account in the application, and restart the connection from the assistant. An expired authorization request must be restarted. See Account Access and OAuth.
How do I disconnect an assistant?
Use its own connection controls. SiteTrax.io does not currently offer a customer-facing connected-app inventory or individual server-side authorization-revocation control. Assistant disconnection is not proof that all previously issued SiteTrax.io tokens have been invalidated. Contact support if you need help stopping access.
Why are the answers generic?MostCheck oftenthe account, accessible projects, whether a profile is published, and whether the assistant wasactually authorizedretrieved withrelevant apublished differentfacts.

About the data
Why are there more records than units?
A record is one stored processing result. A unit can be read more than once, and combined container and chassis processing can add a synthetic row for the paired side.
Does a failed read mean the container is damaged?
No. It means the image could not be resolved into an identifier.
Why can I not see an image on a record?
Project configuration, retention, permissions or redaction can withhold media while still returning the operational metadata.
Why will SiteTrax.io not give me a dwell time?
Because the observations needed to pair entry and exit reliably are not available. SiteTrax.io reports the limitation rather than estimating a number.
