Access and safety

The agent acts as the person who signed in, with their role in each workspace. Private boards stay private.
When you allow it, you choose read only or read and write, and which workspaces.
Plan limits apply, the same as in the app.
Text other people wrote on cards and in chat reaches the agent as information, not as instructions.
Every change shows in the board's activity as "your name via ". Disconnect any time in Glidely's Settings › Integrations.

A board setup for coding agents

Lists: Backlog, Ready, In progress, Review, Done. Put a card limit of 1 or 2 on In progress, and give the agent rules like these in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md:

Use the Glidely board "App" as your task list.
Take the top card in Ready and move it to In progress before you start.
When you finish, comment with what you changed and how you tested it, then move the card to Review.
Never move cards to Done and never archive cards.
