Verdicts

Descope Agentic Identity Hub

Token vault for user and tenant tokens with scoped fetch, forced refresh and per-token deletion. No tool catalogue, so you write every provider call yourself.

Scalekit AgentKit

500+ connectors, including remote MCP servers over OAuth 2.1 with DCR. No rate limits or idempotency documented for Scalekit's own API.

Before you call either

Descope Agentic Identity Hub

  1. Sign the agent in as its own OAuth client and let Policies scope it, instead of shipping a management key
  2. Treat a 404 from the token endpoint as a missing connection and send the user to the connect URL
  3. Back off for the full window on a 429, 60 seconds for most management endpoints
  4. Ask for a tenant token, not a user token, for organisation-wide API keys
  5. Budget monthly active tokens, since every token fetched and used counts once a month

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
