Security
Authorization protocol for delegated access to protected resources.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 to let AI agents access user Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive accounts without storing passwords - users grant scoped consent and can revoke agent access at any time.
Salesforce Agentforce uses OAuth 2.0 Connected Apps to let agents call Salesforce REST APIs on behalf of named users - each agent's token is scoped to specific objects and fields.
LangChain's tool integrations use OAuth 2.0 for Google Calendar, GitHub, and HubSpot tools - the agent requests a short-lived access token at runtime rather than using hardcoded credentials.
