Question 1

What does the Box MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Box integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Box to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Enterprise file storage, document collaboration, secure file sharing, and content management automation. It lets agents call Box actions like List folder items, Get file, Upload file, and Download file without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Box actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Box MCP connector exposes 8 scoped actions including List folder items, Get file, Upload file, and Download file. Each action is mapped to a specific Box OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Box?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Box. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Box using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Box controlled and audited?

Accepted Answer

Access to the Box integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Box tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.

Question 5
