IT OPS

Newly Authorized High-Risk App to PagerDuty Alert

What it does

Watches for the most urgent signal in OAuth governance: a brand-new app appearing with dangerous permissions. Instead of waiting for the next batch review, it pages on-call so a human can look within minutes.

When to use it

Use it for tenants where a single malicious or compromised OAuth grant is a real breach risk. This is the real-time tripwire layered on top of your slower daily inventory and review queues.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule trigger runs a tight loop (for example every 15 minutes).
  2. 2A custom-MCP call fetches grants created since the last checkpoint.
  3. 3A logic step keeps only apps that are both newly authorized and carry a high-risk scope, dropping known and previously-approved apps.
  4. 4For each qualifying app a PagerDuty action opens an incident tagged with the app name, scopes, and the authorizing user.
  5. 5The output advances the checkpoint timestamp so the next run only sees newer grants.
