{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

This connector is only available for tenants that onboarded after July 26, 2026. For tenants that onboarded before this date, use Marketplace to access the standalone integration. For more information, see [Marketplace](/cortex-agentix/configure-cortex-agentix/marketplace.md).
{% endhint %}

This connector is available with any active Cortex XSIAM or Cortex AgentiX license.

By presenting itself as an apparently benign and legitimate service, a Thinkst Canary draws the attention of unwanted activity. When someone trips one of the Canary's triggers, an alert is sent to notify the responsible parties so that action can be taken before valuable systems in your network are compromised. Fetch alerts from CanaryTools as issues and acknowledge them, get information about registered Canaries and Canary Tokens, and add IP addresses to the allow list.

This connector includes the following sub-capabilities (Marketplace integrations link to PAN DEV for more information):

When someone trips one of the Canary's triggers, an alert is sent to notify the responsible parties so that action can be taken before valubale systems in your network are compromised.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/configure-cortex-agentix/cortex-agentix-data-sources-and-connectors/vendor-specific-data-sources-and-connectors/thinkst-canary/thinkst-canary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
