Not every agent should be able to post. A weekly-report agent only needs to read. Creator OS read-only keys let an agent see your posts, analytics, followers, comments and DMs, while every write is refused.

+------------------+ +--------------------------+How to create one
- Open Settings in Creator OS, then API keys.
- Create a read-only key and name it after the agent that will use it.
- Hand that key to the agent.
What it blocks
Any request that would change something (publishing, replying, deleting, editing automations) is rejected with an insufficient_scope error. Through the MCP connector, a read-only connection only sees the reporting tools.
Good uses
- A weekly performance summary sent to your team
- A dashboard in your own tools
- Sharing numbers with a client or analyst
Details: Authentication. For full control, see the Creator OS API.
