CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the Airtable integration exposes
The Airtable Agent App exposes 14 provider-backed actions for productivity and data work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent read airtable base metadata, including workspaceid and optional collaborator details, create an airtable base in a workspace with the provided initial table and field schema, and delete an airtable base. airtable restricts this endpoint to enterprise admins. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses OAuth 2.0 and API key. Before execution, the agent can inspect the selected action, its required fields, declared scopes, and expected output contract. Provider credentials remain inside the Working Machines runtime; the calling agent receives the capability and its structured result, not the underlying secret.
For reliable operation, start with the narrowest action that satisfies the task, resolve stable provider identifiers before changing state, and validate the returned object or status after execution. Availability still depends on the connected Airtable account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Get Base Collaborators
Read Airtable base metadata, including workspaceId and optional collaborator details. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
get_base_collaboratorsControl Create Base
Create an Airtable base in a workspace with the provided initial table and field schema. Resolve the target first, present material changes for confirmation, and make retries idempotent where the provider supports it.
create_baseVerify with Get Base Schema
Read Airtable table, field, and view schema for a specific base. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
get_base_schemaSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate Airtable with explicit limits
- Authorize Airtable with OAuth 2.0 and API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- 9 actions are change-capable by name. Confirm the target identity and material parameters before allowing a write.
- Treat `delete_base` and `delete_records` as high-impact operations and require an explicit approval boundary.
- The sampled contract declares provider scopes including `schema.bases:write`, `data.records:write`, `workspacesAndBases:manage`, and `schema.bases:read`; verify the complete action contract before execution.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the Airtable task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
OAuth 2.0 + API key
Airtable personal access token used with the Authorization Bearer header. Create it in the Airtable developer hub at https://airtable.com/create/tokens.
Working Machines stores provider credentials behind the execution boundary. An agent can use an authorized connection identity, but catalog discovery alone does not reveal OAuth tokens, API keys, or provider secrets.
