CAPABILITY PROFILE

What the Intercom integration exposes

The Intercom Agent App exposes 24 provider-backed actions for communication and productivity work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent get a single intercom admin by identifier, create a new intercom contact, and close an intercom conversation. 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. 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 Intercom account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS

Jobs this Agent App can support

Inspect Get Admin

Get a single Intercom admin by identifier. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.

get_admin

Control Create Contact

Create a new Intercom contact. Resolve the target first, present material changes for confirmation, and make retries idempotent where the provider supports it.

create_contact

Verify with Get Article

Get a single Intercom help center article by identifier. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.

get_article

SAFETY BOUNDARY

Operate Intercom with explicit limits

  • Authorize Intercom with OAuth 2.0 and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
  • 4 actions are change-capable by name. Confirm the target identity and material parameters before allowing a write.
  • Treat `close_conversation` as high-impact operations and require an explicit approval boundary.
  • The sampled contract declares provider scopes including `Write conversations`, `Read and write users`, `Read admins`, and `Read and List articles`; verify the complete action contract before execution.
  • After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the Intercom task completed successfully.

CONNECTION MODEL

OAuth 2.0

Intercom uses OAuth 2.0. Connection requirements and availability are determined by the provider and the Working Machines deployment.

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.
