Grant Factory Tools from Trusted JWT Claims
Grant factory-agent tools from verified JWT role claims and return 403 for unsupported roles.
Use verified JWT claims to choose an Agent's tools per request, keep client input out of authorization decisions, and map FactoryPermissionError to 403.

Run the Example
Set up your virtual environment
uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activateInstall dependencies
uv pip install -U "agno[os]" openaiExport your OpenAI API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"Run the example
Save the code above as with_jwt_rbac.py, then run:
python with_jwt_rbac.pyRun the client in a second terminal
Keep the server running. Open another terminal in the same directory, activate the same environment, and repeat any environment-variable overrides from above. Run:
source .venv/bin/activate
python with_jwt_rbac.py --demoStop this server before trying another standalone AgentOS example on port 7777.
