The Basics

This doc explains the basic steps you need to take to set up your agents with Agentic Fabriq.


1. Decide Which Tools Your Agent Needs

Start by deciding which tools you want your agent to use. If the tools are already integrated with Agentic Fabriq, there is no extra setup work for the tool itself.

If your agent needs custom tools, go to Admin Console / Control Panel, open Custom Integrations, click Add Integration, and follow the setup flow. Fill out the parameters based on the kind of tool you are adding.

For more detail, see Custom Tools (API / MCP).

2. Set User Tool Permissions

In order for a user, including yourself, to use tools with an agent, that user needs access to those tools. All users start with no tool privileges unless you are on the starter tier. If you are on the starter tier, you can skip this step.

If you are on a paid tier, you have your own org. Go to Members in the Admin Console / Control Panel and click a member. Each member has two permission areas:

  • Manage General Tool Permissions defines what that user is allowed to connect to any agent in your org.
  • Manage Permissions by Agent shows what that specific user is allowed to do with each agent.

When you register an agent, Agentic Fabriq automatically populates the user-agent permissions with the intersection of the agent permissions and the user's general tool permissions. After agents are registered, you can override permissions for a specific user and a specific agent.

How Scoping Works

Agent and user permissions overlap into agent-user pair permissionsAgentPermissionsAgent-UserPairPermissionsUserPermissions

Agent Permissions

Set by going to Admin Console / Control Panel -> Agents, then registering an agent or managing an existing one.

User Permissions

Set by going to Admin Console / Control Panel -> Members -> click a member -> Manage General Tool Permissions.

Agent-User Pair Permissions

Automatically calculated from the overlap. You can edit overrides at Members -> click a member -> Manage Permissions by Agent.

3. Register Your Agent

Next, go to the Agents tab in the Admin Console / Control Panel to register your first agent. Click Add Agent and fill out the required parameters.

Once you register the agent, you will receive a client ID and client secret. Store these somewhere safe. These are the credentials your agent will use to call Agentic Fabriq.

4. Add Tool Connections to the Agent

Now that your agent's permissions are set and you know which users have access to the agent, users can add tool connections to the agents they have been given access to.

Go to My Agents in the side panel. Click Manage for the agent that you want to connect tools to. Click Add Connection, fill out the fields, finish creating the connection, and then click Connect to connect your agent to that tool.

5. Call Agentic Fabriq from Your Agent

Your agent is now permissioned per user and has access to the tool connections you connected to it. The final step is to have your agent call the Agentic Fabriq MCP server to access those tools.

Reference the setup guides, or have your coding agent reference them, to implement the calls in your agent's code. Store the client ID and client secret you received when registering the agent in a .env file or your team's secret manager.
