Plugin System Updates: Plugin Permissions, UI/UX Improvements

We’ve rolled out some exciting improvements to the TypingMind plugin system that make building and using plugins more powerful and seamless:

Permissions and Resources Access

  • New Permissions System: Plugins can now request access to app-wide resources. In particular, the new read_user_message permission allows plugins to read user messages and attachments for richer, context-aware functionality.

  • Previous Output Access: JavaScript plugins can now access their previous output with the previousRunOutput parameter — perfect for building multi-step workflows and stateful plugins.

UX/UI Improvements

  • Plugin Editor Enhancements: The editor UI is now more compact, with a new option to upload an image for your plugin icon.

  • Plugin Preview Upgrades: When testing your plugin, you can now upload documents and images directly in the chat for a better preview experience.

  • Smoother Plugin Output: We’ve removed the old “Interactive Content” warning, so plugin outputs render without unnecessary interruptions.
