Type @ and pick the plugin. The selection applies to that message only, so @mention it again when a follow-up needs fresh Wakatime data.
For write actions, ChatGPT may ask you to confirm first, depending on the app permissions and the action.
Once published for a workspace, ChatGPT keeps a snapshot of the tool list. When your team adds Wakatime tools in Metorial, an admin refreshes the actions in Workspace settings before they appear.
You can use several apps in one prompt, for example read Wakatime data and then create a ticket in another app.

Add custom MCP server is missing: Workspace policy controls it. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin grants the permission to create plugins with MCPs; ask them to enable it for you.
The plugin exists but no tools appear: Creating the plugin is not enough: install it from your plugins, then start a new conversation so ChatGPT loads its tools.
ChatGPT answers without using the tools: Pick the plugin with @ in the composer and name the action you want, for example "use Metorial to look up the latest ticket".
