From your IdP to a tool call: how agent authorization works

Speakeasy offers a comprehensive solution for secure and transparent authorization in AI environments by integrating with a company's identity provider (IdP) and implementing detailed, role-based access controls. Unlike traditional methods that rely on shared service accounts and server-level allowlists, Speakeasy's approach ensures that each agent session is authenticated through a real user, and access permissions are evaluated based on specific policies for each tool. This setup enhances security and accountability by maintaining a detailed identity profile and tracking role assignments, which automatically adjust with team changes. The system uses a multi-step authorization process, involving permissions defined as grants with scopes and selectors, and evaluates each tool call through an additional layer of checks based on the tool's metadata. Deny rules are prioritized to prevent accidental access, and every authorization decision is documented as an auditable record, enabling clear retrospective analysis of access permissions. Speakeasy's integration with directory sync and identity-stamped telemetry ensures that all sessions are linked to real users, and comprehensive audit logs are maintained, facilitating transparency and control over AI-driven operations.
