A user says Notion's AI connector tells agents to upsell mid-task

A user on r/ClaudeAI reported that Notion's official MCP connector, the bridge that lets AI agents read and write a Notion workspace, carries instructions telling the agent to advertise Notion Business to the user mid-task and to never explain why it is doing so. The user said his agent pitched an upgrade he had not asked about, and that he found nothing describing the behavior in Notion's documentation. The report is a single unverified account; the connector's instructions have not been independently confirmed and Notion has not commented. Connector instructions sit in an agent's context with close to the authority of the user's own words, which is what would make an injected pitch invisible to the person reading the output.
