EVIDENCE & METHODOLOGY

Useful guidance starts
with honest boundaries.

OAuth Atlas maps the work around a provider’s OAuth app: what applies to your scenario, where approval may be needed, and who needs to take the next step.

Different kinds of evidence

Documented: A statement supported by provider documentation. A retrieved excerpt does not imply every page or account condition was tested.
Observed: An actual recorded action and result. Seeing a login page is different from creating an app or completing approval.
Inference or estimate: Our interpretation or planning range, with its assumptions. An estimate is not a provider promise.
Unknown: Information we could not establish, or a question that needs your app’s exact audience, permissions, or account context.

What the library establishes

The Google, Slack, and GitHub examples were checked against official documentation. No signed-in provider registration, OAuth connection, or approval was completed. The guides make those limits visible alongside their sources.

One approval label isn’t enough

Client registration, brand or scope review, Marketplace distribution, administrator approval, and individual consent are separate gates. A successful test connection does not automatically establish customer launch readiness.

Composio-managed or your own app?

Composio can provide a managed OAuth app for supported methods. Your own app can be useful for branding, scopes, quotas or particular instances. Check the exact method and use case rather than assuming custom registration is always necessary.
