Permissions and Safety
TicketCord applies these protections on every request:
- Ownership and plan access are checked again, even after authorization
- Every action on a specific Knowledge Base must name its bot and server
- Search results are limited and exclude internal IDs, secrets, and private backend details
- Knowledge Base text is treated as content, not as instructions for the AI tool
- Write and delete actions are recorded in TicketCord’s audit trail without storing prompts or Knowledge Base content
Revoke a Connection
- Open a bot and server in the TicketCord dashboard.
- Go to Knowledge Base → Configuration.
- Find the connection under Connect AI tools.
- Select Revoke and confirm.
Plan Changes
If your plan expires or no longer includes Knowledge Base access, TicketCord pauses MCP access on the next request. The connection can work again after you upgrade to an eligible plan, unless you revoked it or its refresh access expired.Troubleshooting
The browser did not open
Run the login command again. Your terminal should display an authorization link that you can open manually.The consent request expired
The authorization page is temporary and can only be used once. Close the old tab and run the login command again to receive a new request. Do not submit the expired page again.Authentication completed, but the tool is still waiting
Return to your terminal and give the client a moment to finish. If it does not complete, cancel the login command and run it again. Do not reuse the previous browser tab.Access was denied
Check that:- You are signed in as the TicketCord account owner.
- Your current plan includes Knowledge Base access.
- You still own the bot and server named in the request.
- The connection has not been revoked.
