## Follow the complete permissions walkthrough

Thanks to Descope for sponsoring this video.

The Short contrasts a Viewer with projects:read and an Editor with projects:read plus scripts:write. The MCP server validates the token and controls which tools each connection receives.

Use the complete guide linked above to follow the resource setup, OAuth discovery, tool checks and saved revision test. Keep workspace ownership separate from the scoped permission.

## The takeaway

A scoped token and a workspace check solve different access questions. Verify both against actual server responses and saved records.
