Adoption
What it is
Section titled “What it is”Employees often install skills and tools on their own before Scenery arrives. The runner finds these. Adopting a tool hands it over to Scenery:
- The tool is uploaded to the registry as a real version. It stays private to the employee until IT approves it.
- The employee’s original copy is removed.
- It is replaced by the managed version, so the employee needs to do nothing further.
Why it exists
Section titled “Why it exists”A tool that exists only on one laptop is not governed and cannot be shared or revoked. Adopting makes the registry the source of truth, so you can update, review and revoke the tool like any other.
What an admin sees
Section titled “What an admin sees”- Adopted tools appear in the Review Queue under auto-adopted tools pending review.
- Shadow AI and Managed Paths in the admin navigation show what is on devices and what is under management.
What an employee sees
Section titled “What an employee sees”On Local Discoveries in the portal, each found tool has an Adopt as installed button. Imported tools are listed under Imported for MCP servers and plugins, as either found on their devices or imported as private. Skills appear under My Skills.
