SEE HOW AUTH WORKS

User authorises once. Every agent call after uses their token with scope enforcement.

Authorize

Your user connects

Dropbox MCP

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

Store

Their

Dropbox MCP

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

Resolve

When your agent calls a

Dropbox MCP

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

Audit

Every

Dropbox MCP

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

Why Scalekit

Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes

Other connector libraries treat auth as a demo afterthought.

01.

Shared tokens break per-user analytics

A shared token looks fine in a demo. In production every file operation appears to come from a service account. Scalekit resolves the real user credential so every Dropbox audit log entry names the actual person.

// shared token
 audit → bot_service_account

 // scalekit
 audit → alice@company.com ✓

02.

Authentication is not authorization

03.

Multi-tenancy is architectural

04.

Dropbox MCP today. Others 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 Dropbox as the user or as a shared service account?

As the user. Scalekit resolves the OAuth token for the specific person who authorized the agent. Every file operation is attributed to their Dropbox account — not a shared API key or service credential.

Where is the Dropbox OAuth token stored?

Scalekit vaults tokens with AES-256 encryption at rest. Tokens are resolved at request time and never written into LLM context, agent memory, or logs.

Can I limit which Dropbox tools the agent is allowed to call?

Yes. Use listScopedTools to restrict the tool surface to a specific subset — for example, allowing dropbox_search_files and dropbox_download_file while blocking dropbox_delete_file. Scalekit enforces these limits on every call.

What happens when a user revokes Dropbox access?

The next tool call for that user fails immediately with an auth error. Scalekit does not cache stale tokens past revocation. You can also proactively revoke a token via the Scalekit API or dashboard, which takes effect on the next call.

Dropbox has storage quotas per plan. Can the agent accidentally consume the user's storage?

The agent operates within the same quota limits as the authorizing user's Dropbox plan. If an upload would exceed quota, Dropbox returns an error and the agent surfaces it. You can add an explicit check with dropbox_get_space_usage before any upload to prevent quota exhaustion.
