Don’t vibe code your auth. AI agents can unlock enormous value—but only if they can securely access the data and systems they need to do their jobs. In the first episode of Agent Eye-Openers, Tom Kleinpeter, Co-Founder and Chief Architect at Common Room, shares what changed when AI agents became a must-have capability for its go-to-market intelligence platform. Common Room’s agents help customers find signals in account data, research key accounts, support predictive lead scoring, and take the next best action. But expanding agentic access also raises a critical question: How do you move quickly without giving agents the keys to the kingdom? Tom explains why Common Room chose to build with Auth0 and Auth for MCP—giving agents carefully scoped access to data while helping its engineering team focus on the customer value they are uniquely positioned to create. In this conversation, Tom covers: • Why agentic access to data is becoming table stakes • The security risks of AI-generated authentication code • Why “vibe coding” auth creates future technical debt • How Auth for MCP supports secure authentication and authorization for agents • Why attackers may move faster than defenders in the AI era • How to increase development velocity without compromising security “Don’t vibe code anything related to auth. It’s a trap.” Watch if you’re a security, IT, product, or engineering leader building AI agents—or responsible for making sure they can operate safely at scale.
