# Study drafts and decision briefs

v1.42.0 · Released 2026-10-03

Watch an interview guide take shape, use authorized Zentrik tools from modern MCP clients, and review read-only decision briefs in ChatGPT.

## What changed

- Watch an AI-guided interview draft form, then edit the completed guide in the same dialog.
- Connect modern and legacy MCP clients to authorized Zentrik tools with stricter input checks.
- Review a read-only recommendation in ChatGPT and choose a follow-up that continues the conversation.

## Review an interview guide as it forms

In the Study dialog, an AI-guided interview draft streams into view. When it is ready, review and edit the guide in that same dialog. This preview uses synthetic data; it does not show a live model response or create a Study.

## Use Zentrik tools from MCP clients

Modern MCP clients can call the Zentrik tools authorized for their workspace. Legacy clients continue to work, and malformed business inputs are rejected before they reach the data store. Host model metadata can pass through without relaxing those input checks.

## Review a decision brief in ChatGPT

ChatGPT can show a read-only recommendation and offer two follow-up choices that continue the conversation. Tool approval, the public host check, and installed-client checks still determine whether a person can use it in their ChatGPT setup.
