[Sponsor] WorkOS: How to Give an Agent a Task Instead of a Token

workos.com/blog/delegated-access-for-ai-agents?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q32026

Give an agent an access token and it spreads: into the context window, into tool call logs, into notes it keeps between steps. Each copy works from anywhere, long after the fact.

Relay keeps the credential at WorkOS. Your agent names the user, WorkOS attaches that token, refreshes it, and releases it only to allowlisted hosts. A hijacked agent session is a live process you can kill.

Learn how it works →
