1. A surgical system, comprising:
a control circuit;
a surgical instrument comprising:
a plurality of components interchangeably connectable to the surgical instrument, wherein each of the plurality of components of the surgical instrument comprises a device parameter that identifies each respective component of the plurality; and
a sensor configured to:
detect a tissue parameter associated with a proposed function of the surgical instrument; and
transmit the detected tissue parameter to the control circuit;
wherein the control circuit is configured to:
detect the connection of a component of the plurality of components to the surgical instrument;
record a unique identifier associated with an identity of the connected component based on a device parameter associated with the connected component;
determine a system-defined constraint for the connected component based on the unique identifier; and
analyze the detected tissue parameter in cooperation with the system-defined constraint, wherein the system-defined constraint comprises at least one of a predetermined tissue parameter or a predetermined tissue parameter range associated with each transmitted device parameter; and
a user interface configured to indicate whether the surgical instrument comprising the plurality of components is appropriate to perform the proposed function based on a result of the analysis.
