OAUTH 2.0

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project Management

Every task, project, and workflow your team manages lives in Asana. Asana MCP gives your agent authenticated access to projects scoped to the user who authorized it.

  • Acts as the user: Access and write actions stay tied to the Asana account that authorized the agent.
  • Credentials stay vaulted: AES-256, resolved at request time, never in LLM context.
  • Scoped before every call: User permissions enforced. 90-day audit trail.

SEE HOW AUTH WORKS
Users authorize Asana once. Their credentials stay vaulted, every call is checked, and every action is logged.
1
Authorize
Your user connects
Asana
once. We tie it to their identity and the meetings they approved — no shared bot account, no org-wide access
Who:
user ‘A’
when:
Once per user
access:
Limited to user
2
Store
Their
Asana
token lives in a vault scoped to them. User A's meetings are never reachable by an agent acting for user B, even on the same connection
vault:
encrypted
scope:
per-user
tokens:
auto-refreshed
3
Resolve
When your agent calls a
Asana
tool, we fetch the right token server-side. It never touches your agent, never appears in the LLM context, never shows up in your logs
speed:
~40ms
check:
before every call
seen by:
nobody
4
Audit
Every
Asana
tool call is logged — who triggered it, which meeting was fetched, what came back. 90 days of history, tied to the user who authorized it
history:
90 days
export:
SIEM-ready
logged:
every call
Test other agents
Same per-user auth pattern across other project management agents and MCP connectors. Working code, live demos, fork what fits.
Engineering Teams
Slack triage
Polls Slack for new messages, classifies bugs and support requests with a LangGraph router, files GitHub issues or Zendesk tickets, and confirms in the thread.
Support and Ops Teams
Meeting prep
Pulls agenda, participant context, and open action items before every meeting.
Engineering Teams
Engineering standup agent
Pulls commits from GitHub and GitLab, tracks issue movement in Jira, and posts a per-engineer standup brief to Slack. Each engineer's activity is read on their own delegated OAuth.
Engineering Teams
DevOps assistant agent
Polls GitHub for failing checks and stale PRs, opens Linear issues for the ones that need work, and posts a daily digest to Slack. It acts as the engineer, not a shared service account.

Why Scalekit
Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes
01.
Task updates lose team attribution
A shared Asana token looks fine in a demo. In production, every task update and project write logs as the integration. Task ownership breaks. Workspace attribution breaks. Scalekit resolves the actual user's token so every Asana action is attributed to the right person.
// shared token
audit → bot_service_account
user_filter → broken

// scalekit
audit → user_abc
scope → enforced ✓
02.
Authentication is not authorization

Multi-tenancy is architectural

Asana today. Linear, Jira, ClickUp tomorrow.
“Our agents act across Salesforce, Gong, Google Drive, and more, on behalf of every customer. Scalekit behind the scenes meant we can keep adding tools without ever rebuilding how credentials or tool calling work.”

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions

Does the agent access Asana as the user or as a shared key?
As the user. Each workspace member authorizes once and Scalekit resolves their credential at request time. Audit logs attribute every action to that user, not a shared service account.

Where is the Asana oauth 2.0 stored?
In Scalekit's managed AES-256 token vault, namespaced per tenant. Refresh is automatic. Revocation is a single dashboard action. Tokens never appear in prompts, logs, or LLM context.

Can I limit what the agent is allowed to do in Asana?
Yes. Pass a tool name filter to listScopedTools so the project management agent only sees the subset you authorize. Pre-API-call scope checks block out-of-policy actions before the request reaches Asana.

What happens when a user revokes Asana access?
The connection is invalidated on the next tool call. Subsequent requests for that user fail closed with a clear error. Other users in the tenant remain unaffected. The event is logged for audit.

Can the agent work across multiple Asana workspaces?
Yes, one workspace at a time per connected account. The user authorizes each workspace separately. Cross-workspace access stays denied; project and task permissions inherit native Asana roles.
