How to verify access token permissions with your AI

Connect DVC to your AI client to inspect user identity and permission sets. Once linked, you can ask your agent to audit specific authorization details.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI check token permissions?

Yes. Your AI uses the get_user tool to pull the identity and scope information associated with a specific user. You'll see a breakdown of what the token is authorized to do.

The outcomes

Where your audit results land.

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the security check.

IDENTITY

Confirmed user identity

The AI pulls the specific user profile linked to the token. You get the exact name and ID used for authorization.

SCOPES

Permission scope list

The agent reads the specific authorization scopes. You see exactly which actions the token can perform.

AUDIT

Permission gap analysis

Your AI compares the token's actual scopes against what you expected. This highlights any over-privileged tokens.

HUMAN

Manual revocation

The AI identifies the risks, but you must manually revoke or update tokens in your DVC dashboard if permissions are wrong.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as an interface between your chat and the DVC permission data.

  1. Identify the user

    The agent looks up the specific user profile to establish the context of the token in question.

    get_user

  2. Extract scopes

    The AI pulls the list of authorized permissions from the user's session data.

    get_user

  3. Compare permissions

    The agent checks the retrieved scopes against your specific security requirements.

    get_user

  4. Report findings

    The AI presents a clear summary of what the token can and cannot do.

    get_user

    Can the AI delete a user?

    No. This Connector is limited to retrieving user and permission data. It cannot perform destructive actions like deleting users or tokens.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which user to check?

    You tell the AI which user to look up by providing a name or ID in your prompt.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my password?

    No. The AI only accesses the specific data points provided by the get_user tool.

  • 05
