Pipes
A traffic routing component within the WorkOS Airlock framework, responsible for carrying and routing API call requests made by AI agents. It works in conjunction with the Airlock policy engine to enable centralized governance and auditing.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Pipes launched the Connection Sharing feature, which allows administrators to connect a service provider for the entire organization at once, with all members of the organization sharing that connection without each having to authorize separately.
Pipes Connection Sharing maintains an organization-level pool of connection credentials in the background, and when a member initiates a request, the system automatically uses the connection configured by the administrator for authentication.
Pipes Connection Sharing does not change the OAuth protocol itself; rather, it elevates the subject of OAuth authorization from the individual to the organization, changing how tokens are managed and distributed.
After introducing Connection Sharing, developers need to change connection lookup logic from "query by user ID" to "query by organization ID" and handle fallback strategies when a connection does not exist.
The Airlock system includes a component called Pipes, which is responsible for carrying the actual routing channel of agent calls, handling request routing and governance.
