FAQ

What counts as ChatGPT Plugin or Claude Connector approval time?

Approval time is the number of calendar days between the date an operator submitted a ChatGPT Plugin or Claude Connector and the date it was approved for public store visibility.

Are waiting submissions included in the average approval time?

No. Waiting submissions can appear as a currently-waiting signal after review, but averages only use approved submissions with both dates present.

Where does the ChatGPT or Claude approval date come from?

For approved submissions we prefill the date Agentdiscoverability.com first observed the Integration in the public Registry snapshot. Submitters can correct that date before sending.

Is this official OpenAI or Anthropic approval-time data?

No. This is Agentdiscoverability.com's crowdsourced and human-reviewed benchmark for ChatGPT Plugins and Claude Connectors.

Why track how many approval attempts were needed?

Feedback and resubmission rounds help operators distinguish first-pass approvals from approvals that required policy fixes, while separating platform review time from builder turnaround time.

Why do I need to include my email?

Email lets our reviewers follow up if an approval-time submission is ambiguous. It is required for submission quality and is never included in the public benchmark.
