## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their access to saved connections. > - The Permissions page loads account details and permitted agent choices. > - Company-wide AI accounts repeat retained installation checks for every candidate agent. > - This makes target checks grow with the square of the roster size. > - The browser waits without a deadline, and connection names do not identify the provider login. > - This pull request batches direct AI checks and bounds loading with recovery controls. > - Account details load separately and show a provider email or an explicit profile-permission limit. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** Opening a saved AI account can leave Permissions on “Loading AI account…” for minutes. The account itself can be connected. The existing capability batch excludes AI connections, so a company-wide install repeats checks for every installed agent for every candidate. Saved names and Paperclip ownership also do not establish which provider login a credential uses. **Expected behavior** Direct AI accounts reuse retained-target checks within one descriptive request. The page shows loaded account controls or a bounded failure with Retry. Permissions shows the provider email and organization when the selected credential permits profile access. An unavailable profile must not block maintenance or disconnect a working inference credential. Writes still authorize current permissions. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Save an AI account in a company with several agents. 2. Install the account company-wide. 3. Open its Permissions page. 4. Delay the account-list or grants response to exercise the loading failure. The maintained benchmark reproduces database work with synthetic local data. Refs #17945, which added batching for non-AI connections. Searches found no open PR for this AI-account loading fix. ## What Changed - Include direct AI accounts in the existing board capability batch. Referenced pool members, delegated actors, complex selectors, and mutation authorization keep their existing evaluator. - Add opt-in per-caller GET deadlines to the API client. A timed-out caller detaches the stuck coalesced request so Retry starts a fresh fetch. Other callers retain their own cancellation and results. - Apply a 15-second deadline to AI account lists and grants reads. The permissions view retries transient failures once and reports other failures immediately. - Share the parent Permissions grants query with AI account details. Keep loaded controls visible after a background error and offer Retry. - Add a grant-scoped identity GET and OpenAPI contract. The service checks current membership and credential audience before it reads the selected credential. It projects only the provider email and organization; provider IDs, tokens, and raw errors stay private. - Show account details independently of maintenance controls. Anthropic profile denial has an explicit message and preserves connected status. Transient profile failures have a separate Retry action. Observations are cached for five minutes under the company, connection, grant, and grant revision. - Extend real PostgreSQL and authenticated HTTP coverage, client/component regressions, map guidance, and the existing benchmark's AI mode. - Address the Apex file-size finding by moving gallery identity lookup into the existing app display helper module. `AppDetail.tsx` is 984 lines; lookup behavior is unchanged. ## Verification Local source checkout on macOS, Node 25.6.1, pnpm 9.15.4, and disposable PostgreSQL 18.1. Provider calls use fixtures. No hosted deployment or provider qualification is claimed. - Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. - Passed all 87 tests in `connection-management.integration.test.ts` and all 33 tests in `connection-install-capabilities.test.ts`. - Passed 196 AI connection, identity-provider, and OpenAPI tests: `ai-connections.test.ts`, `ai-account-identity.test.ts`, and `openapi-routes.test.ts`. - Passed 107 focused UI/client tests: `client.test.ts`, `ManagedAiConnectionDetails.test.tsx`, `AiConnectionAccountDetails.test.tsx`, and `AppDetail.test.tsx`. - After the Apex extraction, passed UI typecheck/build and 106 component tests across `AppDetail.test.tsx`, `AppNotConnected.test.tsx`, `ManagedAiConnectionDetails.test.tsx`, and `AiConnectionAccountDetails.test.tsx`. - The authenticated HTTP tests compare complete grants responses across human roles, for tool and AI connections. They verify a real install mutation succeeds before revocation and fails afterward. - A company-wide personal AI fixture checks 20 targets instead of 400. Pool-member permission loss still denies the complete pool description. - UI states covered: shared cached grants, stuck account/grants fetches, one automatic retry, terminal failure, manual recovery, authorization failure, background failure with retained controls, and unmount cancellation. Client tests also cover stalled response bodies and independent coalesced callers. - Identity coverage includes actual bearer-key/JWT reads, private-user and cross-company denial before provider access, revoked credentials, provider 401/403/429/500, and grant-change isolation. A real local HTTP fixture stalls the response body, verifies the shared 15-second deadline, and keeps unrelated HTTP requests responsive. The test shortens the native deadline to 100 ms. Profile permission denial leaves the saved account connected. - Passed `pnpm check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and `git diff --check`. - The full local `pnpm test:run` started with the loading-only change. All six chat shards passed. It recorded one failure in the unchanged `heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts` quota-rejection case. That exact case passed a focused rerun on the final head. The initial failure cause remains unconfirmed and its local log is retained; this is not a full local-suite pass. The redundant local run was stopped with SIGINT after final-head CI completed successfully. - [Final-head CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41515556725) passed on `ead8d276d4a2023614fff54b3e9a858f28c3178b`: typecheck, build, all 12 server shards, all 3 chat shards, workspace suites, all 9 serialized suites, all 8 end-to-end shards, Runner checks, and the aggregate verify gate. Security checks passed. Optional Storybook checks were skipped by workflow policy. GitHub reports the branch mergeable without conflicts. - Apex reviewed head `ead8d276d4a2023614fff54b3e9a858f28c3178b` at 5/5, confirmed the extraction resolves its earlier file-size finding, and has no unresolved review threads. The existing benchmark ran for the loading-only change now recorded in commit `5f725b36fa52002545241a5a8b7a10602f0cc0ce`, with `--purpose=ai --baseline-ref=026fd9e3452`. The identity follow-up leaves that batch source unchanged. Two warmups and five alternating samples exercise each of eight fixture shapes. Complete positional capabilities, reasons, and operations match the baseline in every sample. | AI fixture | SQL calls before → after | Target reads before → after | | --- | ---: | ---: | | 1 agent, company install | 9 → 9 | 1 → 1 | | 32 agents, company install | 5,248 → 164 | 1,024 → 32 | | 100 agents, company install | 50,400 → 504 | 10,000 → 100 | | 100 agents, partial install | 13,175 → 503 | 2,575 → 100 | These counts measure the real service over local PostgreSQL. They do not predict hosted page latency. To reproduce the standalone benchmark, use a checkout of commit `5f725b36fa52002545241a5a8b7a10602f0cc0ce` and run the command below. Its isolation check intentionally rejects the later identity follow-up's additional runtime changes. ```sh node --import ./server/node_modules/tsx/dist/esm/index.mjs scripts/benchmark-connection-install-capabilities.ts --purpose=ai --baseline-ref=026fd9e3452 ``` Run the final-head regression suites from the repository root: ```sh cd server pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/connection-management.integration.test.ts src/__tests__/connection-install-capabilities.test.ts src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts src/services/ai-account-identity.test.ts src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts cd ../ui pnpm exec vitest run src/api/client.test.ts src/components/ai-connections/ManagedAiConnectionDetails.test.tsx src/components/ai-connections/AiConnectionAccountDetails.test.tsx src/pages/apps/AppDetail.test.tsx ``` ## Risks Descriptive permissions reuse retained facts within one request. A concurrent change can leave a displayed choice stale; the next request and every write still authorize fresh. Pools with referenced members retain their existing cost. The account and grants clients now bound each caller's wait. A browser abort does not cancel an authorization read already admitted by the server. The independent profile request uses a fixed Anthropic origin, a bounded body, no redirects, and a 15-second deadline. Inference-only credentials can return no email; that is reported without guessing from a Paperclip owner or changing connection health. Profiles are fetched only for the caller's authorized selected grant. No ambient CLI identity, persistent identity cache, background polling, or billing-identity change is added. Other API reads keep their existing behavior. No migration is required. Staging has not been redeployed. ## Model Used OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through the Codex harness in T3 Code, with xhigh reasoning, code editing, execution, and test tools.

Paperclip agent access map
This map accompanies the feature map. It records APIs, agent entry points, permission boundaries and verification for the same capability IDs. The shared contract defines the format and maintenance rules.
The chat scenario catalog uses these same IDs for human requests and expected outcomes. Its scenarios retain the access boundaries here; neither a CEO role nor a planned scenario grants board authority or establishes a working production tool binding.
Use full capability IDs when referring to access contracts outside their file:
onboarding/company means the company capability in onboarding.md in both maps.
The feature index lists feature and
capability IDs; IDs and references
explains entry-point references and stable naming.
Browse access contracts
The same-named feature recipes define navigation and capability IDs. Run
node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs for the generated
maps/generated/agent-access-map.md index, or browse the
published feature guide.
Add or update the affected companion; there is no central registration or count.
Existing baseline source references describe the original inspection, not current verification. Record new executed evidence in the PR, issue, or CI artifact with its revision and scope. Do not refresh unrelated headers as bookkeeping.
Using an entry
Read its Policy and Gaps before selecting an agent path. Native fallback, legacy
REST/CLI, stdio MCP and a personal assistant connection can have different
authority and availability. Use a real admitted production binding; a scenario
declaration is not an installed tool. A restricted entry records current
enforcement and leaves any unresolved delegation decision visible.
For API catalog disagreements, follow the route/service authorization and record
discovery drift. For not-applicable, retain the concrete exception and local
path. Split shared business operations from client-only presentation.
Use maintain-verification-skill to reconcile changed source and both maps.
Use verify-paperclip and existing API/runner/MCP fixtures to collect the
permitted-agent and denial evidence; report blocked/not-run coverage honestly.
Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after editing. The structural check does not
certify permissions, API catalog coverage, tool admission or live behavior.
Native REST transport
The call_api parity change reconciles affected baselines against
58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b and the changes in this PR. Ordinary
REST operations use the same route authorization as legacy agent REST. Dedicated
tools remain optional for those operations; protocol endpoints still need their
existing clients. Board-only routes remain restricted for agent identity.
Native search_api / call_api is enabled by default, but explicit server,
company-allowlist and binding settings can narrow admission. It requires a running
authorized native run, current task assignment and execution-run binding, company
and budget authority, task privacy, and a permitted work mode. Ask and Plan retain
mutation restrictions, and runs retain their admitted JWT scope during restart
recovery even when task mode changes. A waiting
agent does not gain independent native control just because a REST route exists.
Connection-management reads support Standard, Ask and Plan; mutations require
Standard. Skill-test runs and nonstandard task-bridge keys cannot administer
connections. These gates supplement each operation's grants, resolved resource
and target scope, and responsible-user authority. See the
rollout policy
and connection authorization.
Credential-bearing replies, including company exports and their legacy alias, stay inline under a 10 MiB limit and use encrypted mutation receipts. Other saved API snapshots are limited to the issuing actor and responsible user, plus authorized administrators. Artifact uploads enforce the same access checks as downloads; private snapshots are excluded from company exports and public company logos. Explicit deliverables use the existing sharing path. Native event history, checkpoints and completion records omit API bodies while preserving receipt metadata and replay digests. Restored webhook secrets use the same encrypted receipt and inline response policy as newly created webhook secrets. Task image access requires the company boundary and the task permission; skill-test and low-trust agents do not need company-wide browsing authority. Completion replay applies the same idempotent projection to stored and expected payloads; the run-log guide describes its fields.
Sources: API client,
catalog,
native authority,
credential storage classification,
snapshot access,
and history redaction. The affected entries remain
baseline and source-only; this reconciliation does not certify every operation.
Targeted real-route proof lives in the
API integration suite,
including owned routines, skill tests, scoped secrets, proposals and private export replay.
