Idira agent identity review
MCP access with user and agent attribution
Agent discovery 7.0 / Per-action policy 8.5 / Agent credentials 8.0
General purpose score 7.58 joint
Where it falls short
- Supported agent and MCP authentication types are bounded by the documented scope.
- Customers must configure OAuth client credentials, and connection mode cannot be changed after registration.
Documented strengths
- Agent discovery records ownership and purpose; registered agents can use an Identity Broker.
- The Identity Broker proxy enforces access to MCP tools.
- Managed OAuth handles upstream tokens. Customers configure OAuth clients; Idira does not issue MCP client credentials.
