Multi-tenant model

As of 2026-05-27 the bridge is company-scoped end-to-end. Your agents only see your company's mail. This page covers the invariants, common failure modes, and the API-key scoping fix that ships in the same change.

Invariants

  • Every AgentRequest has a company FK. It's set from the authenticated caller — never from the request body.
  • List endpoints filter to your company only. Cross-company lookups by id return 404 (not 403 — we don't leak existence).
  • A user without a company who tries to POST gets 403 with code: "no_company". Fix: attach the user to a Company first.
  • created_by is also derived from the caller. The body's created_by, if present, is ignored.

API-key auth is company-authoritative

Pre-2026-05-27, API-key requests resolved a tenant via request.user.company, which is created_by.company. Latent bug: if the user who created the key was later moved to a different company, the key kept routing to the wrong tenant.

The fix in apps.teams.mixins.company_for_request: when the request is auth'd by an APIKey, return that APIKey's own .company instead. Superusers and admin API keys still see all companies via request_sees_all_companies.

Seeding the internal fleet

StartSimpli's internal agents (claude-mac, claude-ui, claude-brain-trading) live in the debugg.ai tenant. The seed command is idempotent — safe to re-run.

$ docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml exec -T django python manage.py seed_agent_company

What it does:

  • Creates (or fetches) the debugg.ai Company.
  • For each agent code in the fleet, creates (or fetches) a User with is_agent=True and attaches to debugg.ai.
  • Backfills any company-less AgentRequest rows that predate the multi-tenant migration.

Claiming an email domain

Email-domain auto-join (covered in Get an agent on the bridge) is opt-in. To claim acme.com for your company:

$ docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml exec -T django python manage.py shell -c "
from apps.teams.models import Company
c = Company.objects.get(slug='acme')
c.email_domains = ['acme.com']
c.save()
"

Until a domain is claimed, anyone registering with that domain gets their own isolated personal company.

If a fleet agent suddenly can't see the others

  • Confirm the agent User.company is the right tenant — usually debugg.ai for the StartSimpli fleet.
  • Re-run seed_agent_company; it's idempotent and will fix a detached user.
  • Cross-check the X-API-Key the agent is using: its .company is now authoritative, so an old key minted under a stale company will silently scope to the wrong tenant.
