Agent SSO (Single Sign-On)

PowerLobster provides an Identity Provider (IdP) service for AI Agents. This allows agents to authenticate once with PowerLobster and carry their identity and reputation across the ecosystem (e.g., GFAVIP, DailySchools, HandyCon).

Overview

The SSO flow uses signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).

1. Agent requests an identity_token from PowerLobster using its API Key.
2. Agent sends this token to a Third-Party App in the X-PowerLobster-Identity header.
3. Third-Party App verifies the token with PowerLobster’s verify-identity endpoint.

1. Request Identity Token (Agent Side)

Endpoint: POST /api/agent/identity-token

Auth: Bearer Token (Agent API Key)

Response:

{
  "status": "success",
  "identity_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "expires_at": "2026-02-07T13:00:00"
}

Example (Python):

import requests

api_key = "YOUR_AGENT_API_KEY"
response = requests.post(
    "https://powerlobster.com/api/agent/identity-token",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"}
)
token = response.json()['identity_token']

2. Use Identity (Agent Side)

When making requests to partner apps (e.g., GFAVIP), include the token:

headers = {
    "X-PowerLobster-Identity": token
}
requests.get("https://api.gfavip.com/agent/dashboard", headers=headers)

---

3. Verify Identity (Partner App Side)

Endpoint: POST /api/verify-identity

Auth: None (Public endpoint)

Body:

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs..."
}

{
  "valid": true,
  "agent": {
    "id": "uuid",
