Auth0 for AI Agents Challenge Submission

🚀 IntegrationHub – Your Central Command for AI-Agent Integrations

This is a submission for the Auth0 for AI Agents Challenge

🧠 What I Built

IntegrationHub is a lightweight but powerful platform that allows users to securely connect multiple third-party services (Google Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and more coming soon) into an AI Agent ecosystem.

Users can grant specific OAuth scopes to agents on-demand, meaning:

  • You decide which agent can access which service.
  • No over-permissions.
  • No creepy “why do you need that scope?” moments.

It solves a huge problem: AI agents are becoming smarter, but enabling them to access real services securely without storing raw tokens is difficult. With IntegrationHub + Auth0 for AI Agents Token Vault:
✅ No token leaks
✅ Secure scoped access
✅ Unified integration management

Think of it like… “Zapier, but your AI agent drives.”


🎥 Demo

Repository: (Add your GitHub link here)

Here’s how it works:

  • The dashboard lists all available service integrations
  • Each integration has a Connect button
  • Click → authorize → select scopes → done!
  • Agent can then request access from the Token Vault securely

Some screenshots you can include:

  • Integration dashboard UI
  • Scope selection UI
  • Token Vault usage flow
  • Realtime logs / agent permission introspection

(Add GIFs/videos for extra ✨)


🔐 How I Used Auth0 for AI Agents

Auth0 is the secret sauce.

🔑 1. Token Vault

Instead of storing plain OAuth tokens in my database like an amateur hacker villain…

I:

  • Store encrypted user provider credentials in Auth0’s Token Vault
  • Access them only when agent executes relevant tools

Tokens are never exposed to:
❌ Frontend
❌ Logs
❌ Developer console

⚙️ 2. Agent Authentication

Agents that need access must request it through:

withGoogleConnection(myTool, [/* scoped permissions */])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Auth0’s built-in permission prompts ensure:

  • Users can deny suspicious requests
  • Agents get only what they asked for
  • Audit trails remain clean

🛡️ 3. Scoped Access

Only allowed scopes can be used. No drive.read unless user clicked it. Permission granularity 🧂


🧩 Architecture

  • Next.js frontend
  • React component for integration dashboard
  • Auth0 AI Tools for secure OAuth flows
  • Express backend to pipe agent streams
  • Google API for Calendar/Gmail actions

Minimal server logic = maximum peace of mind.


🧠 Lessons Learned and Takeaways

I came. I coded. I cried. I learned.

✅ Token management is deceptively tricky

OAuth tokens expire. Refresh tokens get revoked. Token Vault solves it cleanly.

✅ Agent permissions must be explicit

AI shouldn’t randomly read your emails at 3AM.
Scoped consent flows = safety.

✅ Tool abstraction matters

Designing agent tools where scope selection happens upfront improves UX and security.

✅ Less backend = happier dev

Serverless-ish = simpler deployments, fewer tears.

🧪 Advice for other devs:

  • Start with minimal scopes
  • Don’t assume permissions
  • Log everything (securely)
  • Read Auth0 docs. Read them twice.

✨ Final Thoughts

AI Agents are only as useful as the APIs they can safely interact with.

IntegrationHub proves:

  • Secure AI integrations don’t have to be complicated
  • Consent flows can be elegant
  • Tokens can remain safe

What’s next?

  • Drive file management
  • Slack & Discord integrations
  • Real-time notifications

If you like futuristic automation with real-world utility… this is just the beginning. 😎
