feat(engine): agent-scoped permissions for roster reads and spawned-agent management - #454
khaliqgant wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…gent management Agents spawned by a broker can now work with their own agent token: - GET /v1/agents and GET /v1/agents/:name accept agent tokens (read-only); observer tokens keep their scope and filters. - Migration 0062 adds agents.spawned_by. A node's agent.register for a spawn invocation dispatched to it (same agent name) records the invoking agent. Agent resources expose it as spawned_by. - An agent token may release (POST /v1/agents/release, /release-exact) itself or agents it spawned, and delete (DELETE /v1/agents/:name) agents it spawned; other targets return 403 agent_not_spawned_by_caller. Workspace keys and node tokens are unchanged. - Identity registration, observer tokens, webhooks, directory writes, node enrollment and workspace deletion stay workspace-key only.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Concurrent name reuse can let an agent token delete or release an agent it does not own, and a valid exact-release retry can be rejected. Bind management actions to the authorized agent and preserve keyed replay before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Scoped agent management is a meaningful permission change. Deletion can act on a different agent if a name is reused between authorization and deletion, and node credentials gain direct deletion access without an ownership restriction.

The authorization query and the destructive operation are separate name-based lookups. If the owned agent is tombstoned and another agent is registered under the same name after this check but before deleteAgent performs its own lookup, the caller is authorized using the old agent but the replacement is deleted; the name-only release route has the same gap. Pass the checked target ID into an ID-scoped mutation or enforce spawned_by in the atomic write so a same-name replacement cannot inherit the authorization.

🟥 Replacement agent can inherit deletion authorization
When an owned agent is replaced under the same name, rejectUnownedAgentTarget authorizes the old row. The subsequent name-based release or deletion can target the replacement, allowing its removal without ownership.

Bind delete authorization to the deleted agent ID.
rejectUnownedAgentTarget checks ownership by (workspaceId, name), then deleteAgent independently selects by the same mutable name. If the checked agent is released and that name is reused between the two reads, the check can authorize deletion of the replacement. Return the checked ID and make the delete operation require that ID, the workspace, and the expected name in its write predicate.

Carry the ownership check’s immutable ID into name-based release.
POST /agents/release checks ownership by name, then passes only name to dispatchAgentRelease. dispatchRelease selects a new agent by that name. If the checked agent is released and an unowned agent reuses the name before that lookup, the release can select the replacement.
Pass the target.id obtained by rejectUnownedAgentTarget as expected_agent_id. This makes both the initial lookup and provider completion require the checked agent ID. This correction is separate from binding the delete operation to its checked ID.

Preserve exact-release replay after a name is reused.
If another agent registers the released name, the ownership check returns 403 before dispatchAgentRelease can replay the original Idempotency-Key. Check keyed replay before the mutable name-based ownership check, or authorize a replay using expected_agent_id. A fresh exact-release request from an unowned agent must still return 403.

Engine side of #453: agent-scoped permissions, so an agent spawned by the relay broker can work with its own agent token (least privilege). The relay MCP/broker follow-up (stop delegating the workspace key) is not part of this PR.
What changes
1. Agents can read the roster and the fleet (read-only)
GET /v1/agentsandGET /v1/agents/:namenow accept agent tokens. They usedrequireWorkspaceRead('agents:read', { allowAgent: false, allowNode: false }); now{ allowNode: false }. Observer tokens still go through the sameagents:readscope check andobserverAllowsAgentfiltering. Released tombstones are still excluded from the list and can't be looked up by their old name. Agent payloads never include tokens.GET /v1/nodes,GET /v1/nodes/:nameandGET /v1/nodes/:name/agentsalready accepted agent tokens (requireWorkspaceRead('nodes:read')defaults toallowAgent: true). There is no behavior change there; this PR adds test coverage. Node payloads go throughpublicNode, which redacts delivery secrets (auth tokens, HMAC secrets, header values) and never includes the node token.2. Ownership:
spawned_by0062_agent_spawned_by.sqladds a nullableagents.spawned_bycolumn. It has no FK: agents are tombstoned, not deleted, and a leftover id grants nothing once its row is gone. Existing rows stayNULL.agent.registerandinvocation_id,registerAgentViaNodesets the new agent'sspawned_byto that invocation'scaller_id. The invocation must be aspawn/spawn:*invocation, dispatched to this node, with the same agent name in its input. This coversPOST /v1/actions/spawn/invoke, which is what the relay MCPspawntool calls, andPOST /v1/agents/spawnwhen called with an agent token. The relay broker already forwardsinvocation_idonagent.register.spawned_by(the agent id, ornull). It is also added toAgentSchemain@relaycast/typesand toopenapi.yaml.3. Team management with an agent token
POST /v1/agents/release(used by relay MCPremove_agent)POST /v1/agents/release-exactdelete_agentstill 400)DELETE /v1/agents/:nameOther targets get
403 agent_not_spawned_by_caller, with the message "… managing it requires a workspace key". Nothing is dispatched to the node in that case. A missing target still returns the route's own 404.4. Everything else stays workspace-key only
This PR leaves these unchanged:
POST /v1/agents(registering identities),PATCH /v1/agents/:name,POST /v1/observer-tokens, webhooks, directory writes,POST /v1/nodes(node enrollment), andDELETE /v1/workspace. An agent token on these routes gets401with "Workspace key required (rk_live_...)". The test suite asserts that the message mentions the workspace key.remove_agentin relay callsPOST /v1/agents/release, notDELETE /v1/agents/:nameas the issue table assumed. That route already accepted agent tokens for any target. With this PR, an agent token can only release itself or agents it spawned. This could break one flow in the current relay MCP:add_agenttool spawns throughgetRelay(), which uses the workspace key. Workers spawned that way havespawned_by = null.remove_agentauthenticates with the session's agent token first, and falls back to the workspace key only onagent_token_invalid.add_agentand then callsremove_agentwould now get403 agent_not_spawned_by_caller. Thespawntool is not affected, because it invokes with the agent token.The relay follow-up should (a) spawn with the agent token in
add_agent, and (b) fall back to the workspace key on403 agent_not_spawned_by_callerfor as long as it still holds one. Ideally that ships before, or together with, this engine release on the hosted gateway. Agents created before this migration are unowned, so only the workspace key can release them.Open questions from #453
Do other relay MCP tools depend on the workspace key? Channel creation doesn't. In
relay/packages/cli/src/cli/mcp/messaging-tools.ts, every channel, message, DM, reaction, search and inbox tool usesgetAgentClient(as), which is the agent token. The tools that require the workspace key are:list_agentsandquery_nodes: they callrequireWorkspaceKey()client-side. The engine now serves both to agent tokens.registerMessagingTools(getRelay().agents.list()): the engine now serves this to agent tokens too.add_agent(POST /v1/agents/spawn): the engine already accepted agent tokens here. Switching it to the agent token also records ownership.register_agent(POST /v1/agents, registerOrRotate) andget_observer_url(POST /v1/observer-tokens): these stay workspace-key only.remove_agent: uses the agent token first, then falls back to the workspace key. See the rollout note above.How does
packages/mcpauthenticate? It keeps two credentials in the session:RELAY_API_KEY, the SmitheryrelayApiKey, orworkspace.create/workspace.set_key.getRelay()uses it foragent.register,agent.list,agent.add,agent.remove,integration.webhook.*,integration.subscription.*, and action register/list/get/delete.RELAY_AGENT_TOKENor from registration.getAgentClient()uses it for messaging, channels, reactions, inbox, search, files, and action invoke/complete/get_invocation.So
packages/mcphas the same shape as the relay MCP.agent.list,agent.addandagent.removecould move to the agent token after this PR.Does cloud orchestration rely on agents holding the workspace key? In
relaycast-cloud(the gateway), no. Its fleet routes authenticate workspace keys only for its own node drain, delete and enroll routes. Its write-admission lanes are classified by method and path, not by token kind.GET /v1/agents*andGET /v1/nodespass through to the engine. The cloud D1 needs a matching migration foragents.spawned_by; cloud already has its own0062_desktop_mailbox.sql, so the column would go in as the next number there. I also looked at the separateAgentWorkforce/cloudworkflow executor (packages/core/src/executor/executor.ts). It injectsRELAY_API_KEYinto the step sandbox to runagent-relay mcp-args --register, which callsPOST /v1/agentsand is workspace-key only. So that path still depends on the workspace key. Removing it would mean registering the step agent on the orchestrator side and passing only the agent token into the sandbox.Not in scope / notes

Note
Medium Risk
Changes authorization on release/delete and agent roster reads; stricter agent-token release can break clients that relied on releasing any agent without workspace-key fallback.
Overview
Agent-scoped permissions so spawned workers can operate with an agent token instead of the workspace key.
Adds nullable
spawned_byon agents (migration0062) and sets it when a node registers an agent for a correlated spawn invocation (caller_idfrom the spawn action). Agent resources andAgentSchemaexposespawned_by.Agent tokens may
GET /v1/agentsandGET /v1/agents/:name(read-only; observer scoping unchanged).DELETE /v1/agents/:name,POST /v1/agents/release, andPOST /v1/agents/release-exactwith an agent token are limited to the caller or agents it spawned; other targets return403 agent_not_spawned_by_caller. Workspace keys and node tokens keep prior breadth. Admin routes (register agents, PATCH, observer tokens, node enroll, etc.) stay workspace-key only.Breaking behavior: agent-token release no longer works for arbitrary agents—only self or
spawned_bychildren—so flows that spawn with the workspace key (spawned_by: null) and remove with an agent token need a relay/MCP follow-up.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit bd98ec3. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
