Where the workflow shifted
MCP authorization separates clients, resource servers, authorization servers, and scopes, which helps model sensitive onboarding actions.
Importing customer data, connecting a CRM, reading orders, sending email, changing subscriptions, and editing payment settings should not share one permission layer.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.
Check permissions and failure
- Classify onboarding form fields as public explanation, user-provided input, confirmation-required, or never auto-submit
- Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production
What still needs proof
Over-broad permission increases mistaken actions, duplicate submissions, and sensitive-data exposure. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
