It is off until an administrator turns it on. While it is off, a personal access token for MCP is refused on its next request and members cannot create one, and an OAuth sign-in from an agent is refused on its next request and its next refresh, and the consent page does not offer the Workspace. Turning it off revokes nothing: once it is back on, unexpired, unrevoked tokens and grants work again, except that a host that tried a refresh while it was off has discarded its tokens and signs in again. An outside agent sends the data it reads to its own model provider. Requires permission to manage the Workspace's sign-in. ## Access This operation needs a Parable token. An MCP token cannot call it. See [Authentication](/getting-started/authentication.md) for the kinds of token. Your roles must grant `tenant.auth.manage`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json put /api/auth/external-agent-access-enabled openapi: 3.0.3 info: description: >- Use the Workspace API to work with artifacts, connectors, Parables, and account resources. title: Workspace API version: v2026.10.22.1 servers: [] security: [] paths: /api/auth/external-agent-access-enabled: put: tags: - Auth summary: Turn external agent access on or off description: >- Allows or refuses agents outside Parable, such as Claude Code, in the selected Workspace.
