Verdicts

Auth0 for AI Agents (Token Vault)

Standard grants throughout, RFC 8693 token exchange, CIBA with RAR and DPoP. Only works when Auth0 is the identity provider for your users.

Before you call either

Auth0 for AI Agents (Token Vault)

  1. Turn off refresh token rotation on the application before using the refresh token exchange
  2. Treat a 401 from the exchange as a missing connected account and send the user through the Connected Accounts flow
  3. Pass login_hint when a user has linked two accounts from the same provider
  4. Use CIBA for purchases or deletes and wait for the approval instead of asking in chat
  5. Read X-RateLimit-Reset on a 429 and back off until then

Scalekit AgentKit

  1. Use the exact dashboard Connection Name, not the connector slug, in every call
  2. Call POST /api/v1/tools:search with top_k instead of listing every tool
  3. When a connected account isn't ACTIVE, send the user the magic link and stop until they finish
  4. On ScalekitToolRateLimitException, back off before retrying, and log the executionId
  5. Mint a fresh virtual MCP session token per user per run and let it expire
