SEE HOW AUTH WORKS

Users authorize Google Drive once. Their credentials stay vaulted, every call is checked, and every action is logged.

1

Authorize

Your user connects

Google Drive

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

Google Drive

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

Google Drive

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

Google Drive

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 document agents and MCP connectors. Working code, live demos, fork what fits.

SUPPORT

Support triage agent

Read Zendesk tickets, fetch runbooks from Notion, and route to the right Slack channel with a drafted response.

SUPPORT

Support ticket automation (Google ADK)

Google ADK agent that classifies Zendesk tickets, pulls Notion context, and posts to Slack. End-to-end ticket handoff.

Why Scalekit

Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes

Other connector libraries treat auth as a demo afterthought. Scalekit starts with user identity, scope enforcement, and audit.

01.

Shared tokens break per-user analytics

A shared token looks fine in a demo. In production every call looks like a service account. Scalekit resolves the real user credential so attribution, audit, and scope stay accurate.

// shared token
 audit → bot_service_account
 user_filter → broken

 // scalekit
 audit → user_abc
 scope → enforced ✓

02.

Authentication is not authorization

03.

Multi-tenancy is architectural

04.

Google Drive 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 Google Drive 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 Google Drive 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 Google Drive?
Yes. Pass a tool name filter to listScopedTools so the document agent only sees the subset you authorize. Pre-API-call scope checks block out-of-policy actions before the request reaches Google Drive.

What happens when a user revokes Google Drive 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 reach shared drives the user is not a member of?
No. Access resolves the authorizing user's current Drive permissions. Shared drives the user hasn't joined and files with download restrictions are all blocked at the Google layer.
