What can an AI agent do with
Create, change, and delete companies?
Lets the agent see your company records, add new ones, change them, and delete them.
How to spot it
On a HubSpot connection or settings screen, this is crm.objects.companies.write.
With it, an agent can
- See company records
- Create new companies
- Change company details
- Delete companies
It cannot, on its own
- Change contacts or deals (separate permissions)
What a bad day looks like
The agent overwrites company details with wrong information or deletes company records, so your team loses track of key accounts.
Set it up safer
- Grant crm.objects.companies.read if it only needs to look up companies
- Ask for a review step before any delete
Ask the company selling the agent
- Why does the agent need to delete companies?
- Can I review changes before they are saved?
