Security at Cicada.
How Cicada connects to your apps, where credentials live, how each workspace and group chat is kept apart, and the controls you have over every agent.
Updated · Security questions: support@cicadalabs.io
Connections and credentials
Scoped OAuth for app connections
Apps connect with OAuth, scoped to the access the connection asks for and you approve. Some apps take an API key instead.
Credentials stay server-side
The tokens and keys behind your connections are kept on the server and never put in the conversation.
Browser logins in a private vault
For systems with no app, an agent's browser signs in with logins you save in a private vault.
Kept apart
Workspace isolation
Each workspace's data and connections are isolated from every other workspace.
Each group chat kept apart
An agent in several group chats keeps each one apart from the others: what's said in one group isn't brought into another.
Your details in a group only with your OK
Personal or financial details go into a group chat only with the owner's OK, asked each time.
Control over every agent
You decide how much each agent does on its own, in which apps, and you can see everything it did.
Autonomy per agent
Each agent has one of five levels: Read-only, Ask first, Smart auto, Auto (safe) or Full auto. You choose how much it does without asking.
Permissions per app
Each app is Full, Ask first or Read-only for every agent in the workspace. Read-only means an agent can look and never change anything.
Approvals from the thread
When an action waits for your OK, the agent asks you in your chat with it, and a thumbs up approves it.
An activity log with every run's cost
Every run is on record: each step, the app it touched and its cost in credits.
Removing people from a group always asks
Removing someone from a group chat needs the owner's approval every time, whatever the agent's autonomy level.
Your data and AI models
Workspace content is not used to train models.
