3rd-party agent authentication/authorization

WxO has no mechanism to keep authentication smoothly with outside agents.

It is applicable to both Talent & Finance use cases:

Currently on Talent side we have the following issue:

  • We build our agent using LangGraph & Langchain outside WxO.

  • WxO call this agent using RESTful method, such as /chat/complete. The agent needs to know what’s the current user, and based on user credentials , execute the action, such as f.e. ‘ list my job reqs’.

Currently WxO does not support such capability, and when using AI Agent configuration, we can not pass the parameter to the agent that will help to identify the user who is sending such request. Parameter can be token, or pure text at least ( email address of the logged user) passed into api (either as a header or body context). To have proper security mechanism - it should be security token.

    Passing of user identity/SSO token in context to external agents, is coming in 4Q, will that address more of the present need?

    More in 1Q on Agent Identity & Authentication.
