Connect the agent you already use. Not in Kanera [Agent security](https://www.kanera.app/docs/en-US/ai-agent-security) ## What an AI agent can do in Kanera An agent connects through the MCP server, the CLI, or the API. It works as the person who connected it, with that person's organization, workspace, and board roles, so an Observer's agent cannot change anything. Agents archive cards rather than delete them, and they cannot manage billing, organization settings, or roles. Changes made through an OAuth connection carry your name and the agent's, and you are notified about them. Kanera has no AI model of its own and never runs your agent. [How AI agents work in Kanera](https://www.kanera.app/en-US/ai-agents) - Find, read, create, update, move, duplicate, complete, and archive cards - Set assignees, labels, dates, dependencies, custom fields, and attachments - Read, post, and edit comments, and work through checklists - Read and reorder a person’s Up next queue - Read and write notes and the connected person’s Scratchpad - Report progress on a card with agent runs - Read activity, Work Done history, and Timeline schedules - Create boards and manage a workspace’s automations, with the matching admin role ## Missing something you need?
