Start with the task, not full access
An AI agent should have only the tools and account access needed for the task you want it to perform. This is the principle of least privilege. Reviewing yesterday’s orders does not require permission to issue refunds or send customer emails.
Write down the intended outcome, the accounts involved, and whether the task only reads data or changes it. Read access can still expose customer or business information, so read-only does not mean risk-free. Check what data the tool returns and whether that data is necessary.
Review each permission boundary
The app account’s authorization sets one boundary. The integration’s supported tools set another. Per-agent controls can narrow access further. If you connect multiple accounts, review each account independently; permission for one inbox should not be assumed to cover another.
Agiexa lets merchants approve agent devices and enable or disable individual tools for each agent. One agent can be allowed to read orders while another has a different set of tools. Review the current enabled tools before assigning a new task, rather than assuming an agent’s previous role still fits.
Device registration is not a shared login
Agiexa uses a rotating device-registration code when connecting an agent device. It is not described as two-factor authentication or single sign-on. Device approval identifies which agent connection a merchant has authorized; it does not mean every tool is approved for every task.
Do not paste connected-app credentials into an agent conversation as a shortcut. Use the supported OAuth or API-key connection flow for the integration. Agiexa’s published connection model keeps connected-app OAuth tokens out of agent access.
Review changes before they happen
Agiexa’s permission model includes approval previews for risky actions and action logging. Before approving a consequential action, check the destination account, record identifiers, amounts, recipients, and proposed changes. A confident explanation is not a substitute for checking those details.
After an action, review its result and the relevant source records. Revisit tool permissions when a workflow changes or an agent no longer needs access. Agiexa is preparing for public launch in November 2026; use the waitlist or contact email for availability questions.
- Separate read tasks from actions that change records.
- Check the connected account and enabled tools for each agent.
- Preview recipients, amounts, and records before approval.
- Verify completed actions against the source system.
- Remove tool access that is no longer needed.
