## Choosing a provider

- Match the **capabilities required by your steps** to the provider’s `GetCapabilities()` output.
- Providers handle authentication/session acquisition via `Context.AcquireAuthSession(...)` (host-controlled).
- Steps acquire auth sessions via `Context.AcquireAuthSession(...)` and pass them to provider methods that accept an optional `AuthSession` parameter (host-controlled).
- In workflows, steps select a provider by **alias** (defaults to `Identity` if omitted).

- Minimal checklist:
- Implement provider contracts (only what you need)
- Advertise deterministic capabilities (`GetCapabilities()`)
- Acquire sessions via host context (no prompts inside providers)
- Accept optional `AuthSession` parameter in methods that require authentication (sessions acquired by steps via host context; no prompts inside providers)
- Add unit tests + contract tests (no live calls in CI)
