Overview

Modus mines the Notion workspace you connect down to the block level, so nested docs and databases become structured, queryable context.

What Modus reads

1Workspace
2Page
3Block

You select the level Modus is allowed to mine. Everything below it is discovered automatically; everything outside it is never touched.

Context types

Each object Modus mines produces typed context items, addressed by their position in the hierarchy. This is what an agent actually receives.

Workspace metadata
The connected workspace and the pages Modus may read.
Page metadata
Page titles, properties, and hierarchy.
Block metadata
The content itself, block by block, so structure survives.

Tools

Tools are granted per skill, never globally. Anything that changes state in Notion is marked as a write and stops for human approval.

Search Notion
Search pages and databases across the connected workspace.
Get Page / Get Page Property
Retrieve a page and its individual properties.
List Page Blocks / Get Block
Walk page content block by block.
Query Database / Get Data Source
Query a Notion database and inspect its schema.
List Users / Get User
Resolve workspace identities.
Update Page Properties
Approval required
Update page properties after explicit confirmation.

Common use cases

Turn a Notion database of decisions into structured agent context.
Answer product questions from the approved page, with its status attached.

Connection method

Connect once. Modus stores credentials in a managed secret store, rotates what it can, and never asks an agent to handle them.

OAuth (managed)

Managed Notion OAuth. You choose which pages and databases the integration can access.

Security & governance

Governance is applied once, at the layer every agent runs through, so it holds no matter which agent asks.

Metadata-first mining

Modus learns from structure and usage, not bulk data. Raw records stay in your environment; only the metadata needed to understand the system is stored.

Scoped selection

You choose exactly which schemas, folders, spaces, or boards Modus is allowed to see. Nothing outside the selection is ever mined.

Write approval

Actions that change state in the source system are marked as writes and require an explicit human confirmation before they run.

Group access by sensitivity

Map your identity groups to sensitivity tiers so each team only ever composes context at or below its clearance.

Put Notion to work.

Connect it in minutes and give every agent a governed understanding of what is inside, without moving a single row of data.
