Grok Build + Token Security: Find What Your Coding Agents Can Reach, and Fix It Where You Code

With Grok Build and Token Security, developers can identify risky agent access and take action directly within their development workflow.

Ideally, every coding agent your developers run has an owner and a clear map of what it can reach, enabling safe and scalable agentic development. With Grok Build and Token, it’s possible.

As a SpaceXAI Partner Network Marketplace Partner, Token Security brings identity and access context into Grok Build, helping developers understand which agents and credentials introduce risk and what they can do to address it.

Coding agents act through identities. They use dev credentials, call MCP servers that hold API keys, access repos and cloud accounts, and log in to SaaS apps on their users’ behalf.

In practice, as development teams scale their use of Grok Build, security can keep a current view of every agent's access. Each finding goes to the engineer who can fix it, with the context to do so, within the editor itself, through the Token Security plugin in the Grok Build marketplace.

How the two connect

Token Security integrates with Grok Build to connect workspace configuration, endpoint discovery, and identity security context.

Token reads from Grok Build in two ways. The Grok Build Admin API tells Token which users are enabled in your workspace and which MCP servers and tools each team has set up.

EDR integrations such as CrowdStrike show what each person actually runs on their laptop, including MCP config files and any credentials hardcoded in them. That way, security teams can see both the configurations and the real-world usage.

In the other direction, the Token Security plugin from the Grok Build Marketplace lets developers and the Grok Build agent itself query Token data directly from the editor.

This creates a workflow that connects agent discovery and risk identification with the developers responsible for remediation.

1. Discover: Every agent, tied to a person

Token maps each coding agent to:

• The developer who runs it
• The MCP servers it calls
• The credentials those servers use: personal access tokens, API keys, and OAuth grants
• The remote services those servers connect to

Endpoint data also catches agents outside the sanctioned workspace: a CLI someone installed on a Friday, an MCP server pulled from a community directory. Ideally, you bring these into your organization's Grok Build workspace, where they fall under the same policies as everything else.

2. Understand: What makes the agent risky

Let's say Token finds a GitHub personal access token hardcoded in a developer's Grok Build MCP config file. Every time the Grok Build agent calls the GitHub MCP server, it acts with all permissions the token allows. So does anything else that can read the file.

Token flags it, along with other risky Grok Build config: MCP servers granted dangerous permissions, remote endpoints nobody reviewed.

By associating findings with the relevant developer or identity owner, Token helps security teams identify who should investigate and remediate the risk.

3. Fix: In the editor, by the person who owns it

The security team rarely owns the code or configuration where credentials are stored. The developer does. With the Token Security plugin installed, the developer can ask Token about findings without leaving Grok Build:

• "What can this GitHub token reach, and who owns it?"
• "Which secrets expire in the next 30 days, and who owns them?"

The Grok Build agent can call the same tools while it works on the fix. The plugin is read-only and scoped to your Token tenant. It returns metadata about secrets, never their values.

From there, the fix is ordinary work in Grok Build: revoke or rotate the exposed token, replace it with a fine-grained credential scoped to the repositories the agent needs, store it securely in a secrets manager, and remove the hardcoded credential from the configuration file.

As Token collects updated environment data, security teams can verify whether the exposure has been resolved.

The result is a workflow in which security teams identify and prioritize risky agent access while developers investigate and address findings in the environment where they already work.
