## Request body

- ConnectionCreate
  - `name` string, required
  - `integration_id` string, required
  - `config` object, required

## Response `201`

Successful Response

- ConnectionInDB
  - `name` string, required
  - `integration_id` string, required
  - `config` object, required
  - `id` integer, required
  - `user_id` integer, required
  - `is_valid` boolean, required
  - `last_validated_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `privacy` 'private' | 'public' | 'restricted': Sharing modes for a workspace. Deliberately local rather than adding a member to the shared ``PrivacySetting``, which is imported by five resources (datamates, knowledge bases, notebooks, query bookmarks, custom skills). ``restricted`` is meaningless for the other four, and widening the shared enum would make it a legal value there. The two overlapping values keep identical strings, so rows written before this existed, and every cross-file read that compares against ``PrivacySetting.PUBLIC.value``, still work. Reviewers found this argument was made and then broken in the same diff: four ``CustomSkill`` schemas were swapped to this enum, which made ``restricted`` a legal value for a resource with no grant table behind it — ``_visible_to`` (``crud/custom_skills.py``) matches owner-or-public only, and ``custom_skills.privacy`` has no CHECK, so such a skill would persist and be permanently invisible to everyone but its creator. Custom skills are back on ``PrivacySetting``; keep them there until they implement sharing.

    - `id` integer, required
