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

WorkOS Pipes and Agents

1. Call POST /data-integrations/{provider}/token with user_id for each use and don't cache the token
2. Branch on active in the response and send the user to reconnect on needs_reauthorization
3. Wait for Retry-After on a 429, or back off with jitter when it's missing
4. Use lower-case provider slugs such as github or slack
5. Revoke an agent's session through the Agents API when a task ends instead of waiting for expiry
