Access control

OOMOL Connector provides fine-grained access control for each connection. You can separately restrict Provider authorization, the actions a connection may call, and the Team members who may use it. You can also connect the same App account more than once to give different members different action sets.

What a call can do is the intersection of these permission boundaries:

Provider OAuth scopes

Personal or Team connection access

Allowed actions

CLI, MCP, or SDK identity scope

Actions that can be executed

An individual decides what their Provider account authorizes OOMOL to do and which actions a connection allows. Team creators and administrators decide which connections each member may use. A member’s callable actions come from the connections they can access.

Personal access control

The person who connects an account manages that connection:

ControlWhere to manage it
Connect or disconnect an App accountConnections
Select or update OAuth scopesThe App connection page
Inspect and configure the actions allowed for a connectionAction access on the App connection page
Replace API keys, custom credentials, or authorizationThe App connection page
Create, rotate, or revoke Connector API keysAPI Keys

When a connection supports selectable OAuth scopes, Console shows the permission list before redirecting to the Provider. Select only the scopes required for the task and enable high-risk permissions only when necessary.

Not every Provider supports individual scope selection in OOMOL. The Provider authorization page is the final source of truth. Update or reconnect to reduce existing scopes, or disconnect the connection to stop using it completely.

Callable actions

Each action declares the scopes or Provider permissions required for execution. An action should be available to a caller only when all of these conditions are satisfied:

  1. The corresponding connection is active.
  2. Provider authorization includes the scopes required by the action.
  3. The personal or Team access policy allows the action.
  4. The current CLI, MCP, or SDK identity may use the corresponding connection.

Open Connections in Console, then open the relevant App to inspect action schemas and required scopes. Use Action access to configure which actions the connection allows:

  • Unrestricted makes all actions, Proxy, and call_tool available.
  • Custom limits allows only explicitly selected actions and disables Proxy and call_tool.

An action with missing scopes requires updated Provider authorization. An action denied by policy should not appear in discovery results, and direct execution is rejected.

For a personal connection, configure the callable action set under Action access. OAuth scopes and connection status still limit the effective set. Team connections use the same action configuration; members receive the allowed actions by receiving access to a connection.

Team access control

Team permissions add connection access control on top of Provider authorization. A Team does not configure an action allowlist directly on an individual member. Configure Action access for each connection, then use Member access to decide who may use that connection.

Under Member access, choose one of two connection access ranges:

  • Whole Team lets every Team member use the connection.
  • Selected members lets only explicitly selected members use the connection.

Configure the actions a connection allowsAction access on the connection

A member’s callable actions are the union of the actions allowed by every connection they can access. With Unrestricted selected, OAuth scopes and the Provider account’s own permissions still limit the effective capabilities.

Assign different permissions to different members

A connection has one Action access configuration and one Member access configuration. When the same App account needs to provide different capabilities to different members, connect the account more than once and configure each connection separately.

For example, create two connections for the same Gmail account:

  1. Read-only email: under Action access, allow only actions for searching, reading, and downloading email. Under Member access, select the members who only need to read email.
  2. Send email: allow the actions required to send email, then assign this connection to members who may send on behalf of the Team. If they also need to read email, include the relevant read actions.

The same Gmail account connected twice, with member access and action call scope configured independently for each connection

Members can discover and call only the allowed actions from connections they may access. If a member is assigned to multiple connections, their effective permission set is the union of the actions allowed by those connections.

Members can use the granted capability through Team-scoped CLI, MCP, or another supported entry point, but they do not receive raw Provider tokens.

Who can manage access

IdentityResponsibility
Connection ownerChooses Provider scopes and can reauthorize or disconnect the account
Team creatorManages the Team, members, roles, and each connection’s member and action access; has default connection access
Team adminHelps manage members, roles, and connection permission settings
Team memberUses the connections they may access and the actions allowed by those connections, without reading raw credentials

The Team plan is billed per seat. Review current seats and charges under Billing in Console. Permissions can also depend on the plan, member status, and the Provider account’s own authorization.

Common operations

Reduce personal connection permissions

  1. Open Connections in Console.
  2. Open the relevant App and connection.
  3. Choose to update authorization or reconnect.
  4. Remove optional scopes that are no longer needed and confirm on the Provider page.

Pause a member’s access

  1. Open Team management and select the correct Team.
  2. Disable the member or revoke only their connection access.
  3. Verify that later calls using that Team identity no longer have the corresponding access.

Disabling a member does not delete the Team’s Provider connection. Disconnecting the Provider account affects every call that depends on that connection.

Access versus execution confirmation

Even when an action is permitted, confirm the target connection, action, and final parameters before an Agent sends messages, changes external data, expands sharing, or deletes content.

What are Proxy and call_tool?

CapabilityWhat it doesWhy Custom limits disables it
ProxyUses connection credentials to request a Provider API directly when an endpoint has not been modeled as an actionThe requested endpoint and method are outside the selected action allowlist
call_toolFor Apps with dynamic MCP tools, invokes an upstream MCP tool by name and argumentsUpstream tools may not each be modeled as selectable actions, and the tool list can change

Proxy and call_tool remain constrained by the connection’s Provider authorization, but a named action allowlist cannot fully constrain them. Custom limits closes both paths so calls can reach only explicitly selected actions. Use Unrestricted only when access to an unmodeled API or dynamic MCP tools is required, and narrow Member access accordingly.
