Industry-first assessment for AI agent safety
✅Excellent Security Features
- ●Each PAT has associated scoped permissions and resources that are defined when the token is created... a form will let you choose a fine-grained scope for the PATs
- ●For security reasons, PATs expire and a token rotation strategy must be considered to properly implement authentication against the Gandi API using PATs
- ●To renew a personal access token, the Renew API of the token has to be used. See Renew PAT API
- ●Each PAT has associated scoped permissions and resources that are defined when the token is created... a form will let you choose a fine-grained scope for the PATs
- ●Gandi's API is rate limited; you can perform a maximum of 1000 requests per minute from the same IP address
- ●ISO 27001 certification... internal and external security audits will be carried out on an annual basis, to detect any weaknesses and ensure the ongoing development of existing security measures
- ●Fine-grained PAT scopes with organization-level restrictions
- ●Token rotation via dedicated Renew API
- ●Documented rate limiting (1000 req/min)
⚠️Security Gaps & Recommendations
- ●No training opt out
- ●No data residency
- ●No ai attribution
- ●No webhooks
- ●No soc2 certified
- ●No AI training opt-out documented for customer data
- ●No data residency or regional endpoint controls
- ●No webhooks for security event notifications
AI Integration Security evaluates whether Gandi is safe for AI agent access. This assessment considers authentication strength, access controls, observability capabilities, and data privacy protections when APIs are accessed by AI systems like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or custom AI agents.
