The original title is: "OpenConnector: SaaS access for agents needs a runtime boundary, not more raw tokens"

Short summary

The post argues that giving AI agents raw API tokens for SaaS access is insufficient for production use, raising critical questions about user identity, scope management, action safety, and credential lifecycle. It introduces OpenConnector (github.com/oomol-lab/open-connector) as a project that provides a runtime boundary for agent-to-SaaS interactions instead of relying on raw tokens. The content is brief but highlights a real architectural gap in current agent deployments.

• •Raw API tokens in agent demos don't scale to production due to identity, scope, and safety concerns
• •OpenConnector proposes a runtime boundary approach for agent SaaS access
• •Key challenges include multi-user account routing, scope enforcement, log safety, and credential rotation
