description: >-
  Salesloft's OAuth 2.0 scope surface. The scope list below is transcribed verbatim from
  two provider-published pages: the Scopes reference, and the "list of all general available
  scopes associated with your app after hitting select all" printed on the Client Credentials
  page. Scopes are also enforced on API Keys — a key is created with an explicit scope set and
  the Save button stays disabled until at least one scope is selected — so this is not an
  OAuth-only concern at Salesloft.
  derive-oauth-scopes.py produced nothing here: the Postman-derived OpenAPI in openapi/
  declares its OAuth scheme as an http/"oauth2" scheme with no flows and no scopes map, so
  the spec carries zero scope data. Everything in this file came from the docs.

schemes:
  - name: oauth2-authorization-code
    type: oauth2
    flow: authorizationCode
    authorizationUrl: https://accounts.salesloft.com/oauth/authorize
    tokenUrl: https://accounts.salesloft.com/oauth/token
    token_lifetime_seconds: 7200
    refresh: 'Refresh tokens are issued and rotate on every use; old refresh tokens are revoked.'
    docs: https://developers.salesloft.com/docs/platform/api-basics/oauth-authentication/
  - name: oauth2-client-credentials
    type: oauth2
    flow: clientCredentials
    tokenUrl: https://accounts.salesloft.com/oauth/token
    token_lifetime_seconds: 7200
    refresh: 'No refresh token is issued; re-request a token every two hours.'
    scope_delimiter: space
    docs: https://developers.salesloft.com/docs/platform/api-basics/client-creds/
  - name: oidc
    type: openIdConnect
    openIdConnectUrl: https://accounts.salesloft.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
    scopes_supported: [system:all, 'external_emails:create', openid]
    note: >-
      The OIDC discovery document advertises a scope set entirely disjoint from the API scope
      set below — it governs identity/SSO, not Platform API authorization.
  - name: mcp
    type: oauth2
    flow: authorizationCode
    tokenUrl: https://accounts.salesloft.com/oauth/token
    metadata: https://mcp.salesloft.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
    scopes_supported: ['accounts:read', 'conversations:read', 'opportunities:read', 'people:read', 'team:read', claudeai]
    note: >-
      The remote MCP server advertises its own, much narrower scope set — five read scopes plus
      a client-specific "claudeai" scope. This is the read-only agent projection of the API.

policy:
  least_privilege: >-
    "When requesting scopes, it's essential to adhere to the principle of least privilege and
    request only the necessary permissions." Privileged scopes "should be requested with extreme
    caution and only when absolutely necessary."
  partner_requirement: >-
    OAuth is the required authentication method for partners; partner applications submitted
    using API Keys will not be approved.
  privileged_review: Privileged scopes grant elevated access to sensitive data and are gated at app-review time.

summary:
  scope_count: 56
  privileged_count: 6
  frontend_count: 2
  pattern: '<resource>:<read|write|delete>'
  note: >-
    Salesloft documents scopes per endpoint in the API reference ("see the documentation for
    the endpoints that you intend to use"), but publishes no machine-readable scope-to-operation
    map, and the OpenAPI carries no security requirements per operation. Binding scope to
    operation therefore still requires reading the HTML reference page for each endpoint.
