Why is agent identity different than user identity? ⚙️ Agents are task-based, current API keys and OAuth scopes won't map 1:1 🤖 Agents are autonomous, so the concept of least privilege is critical 🤝 Agent intentions are "delegated", the bound user's identity is important 🧵👇

Want to change one of your auth methods? You can either make it an dev project, or "drag & drop" the new auth method to have... ✅ New auth method in prod ✅ Same brand-aligned login as before ✅ Securely merged user IDs ...without touching your codebase. With @descope.com, you can just do things!

MCP auth is a series of cascading credentials Your AI agent needs access to an MCP server, but that's just the first step. It also needs access to any... 🔐 OAuth-enabled APIs 🔐 APIs based on API keys 🔐 Other MCP servers ...that the initial MCP server interacts with. 🧵👇

🚀 @descope.com is a Leader in the Frost Radar for NHI Solutions ✍️ Excerpt: "Descope's approach prioritizes identity lifecycle management for AI agents, including provisioning, management & revocation, making it one of the first vendors to treat AI agents as a first-class identity type.” 🧵👇
