This Will Be Your Team's Best Hire: Agent Cake

Read this job posting as if you were applying for it:

Would you take this job? Mid-market companies now run 164 apps on average, up from 116 a year earlier, according to BetterCloud[1]. That many apps mean a lot of effort, complex access rights, a high risk of errors, costly mistakes and a lot of manual work.

The good news is that you can hire Agent Cake for this job immediately. Agent Cake is Cakewalk's provisioning agent, which creates or removes accounts there across your app stack even in cases where no APIs are available. Cakewalk is the platform behind Agent Cake and tracks who needs which app.

1. Gets Accounts Ready for Day One

Agent Cake has a new hire’s accounts ready on day one. When someone joins in the HR system, Cakewalk picks the apps that come with their role, and Agent Cake creates each account with the right permissions. Turn on No-Touch Onboarding and nobody has to step in. A fast growing company can hire ten or a hundred people a month without adding anyone to IT. New joiners start work on their first morning instead of filing tickets and waiting days for access.

2. Moves Access When People Move

When people change roles, Agent Cake moves their access along. The update in the HR system places the person in new groups in Cakewalk. Cakewalk creates requests to grant the new role's apps and to remove the apps it no longer needs. Agent Cake then carries them out without waiting for an approver. A request an employee raises outside a role still needs approval from the approver named in the company's policy. The employee asks for an app in Cakewalk or in Slack, the approver approves it and Agent Cake sets up the account. The big advantage is that access keeps matching the current job instead of piling up.

3. Removes Access When People Leave

An account that stays active after someone leaves lets that person, or anyone holding their login, back into the company's data. Closing that gap is one of the most important requirements in managing employee access. BetterCloud found that 18% of organizations had a data breach caused by an offboarded user[1]. That is why Cakewalk makes sure that when someone leaves, one confirmation starts removal in each app the person holds in Cakewalk. Agent Cake removes the account in each app set up for it.

Access can also end on a set date. With Time-Based AccessGlossaryTime-Based AccessTime-based access is access to an app, or admin rights within it, that is granted with an end date. In Cakewalk, the requester sets a duration, the…, a request carries an end date.

After it passes, Agent Cake, Cakewalk's AI provisioning agent, removes… covers Time-Based Access in detail. After the end date passes, Cakewalk creates the removal request itself and Agent Cake removes the account in apps set up for Agent Cake. Leftover accounts also cost money. The example below is only an illustration. It shows the direction these costs take, not exact amounts.

Each app bills a seat until someone removes the account. Pick the apps, then set how many people leave a year and how many months their accounts stay open. This is only an example. It uses list prices per seat from each company's website and shows the order of magnitude these costs quickly reach.

4. Works Without SCIM Enabled

The standard way to automate account provisioning in an app is SCIMGlossarySCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management)SCIM is an open standard protocol for automating the exchange of user identity information between identity domains and IT systems. It enables…. Many vendors sell it only on their most expensive subscription tiers. Vercel is one example. Its Pro plan costs $20 per developer seat a month.

The Price of Account Automation

Many companies already pay for the SCIM plan, which each vendor names differently. Add an app and pick a team size to see how much a company would save a year by stepping down from the SCIM plan. Prices are shown per user a month, assuming annual billing. The numbers give only a rough estimate of the price gap, not of what else the higher plan includes.

This is the hard part we solved. We built integrations that let Agent Cake create and remove accounts in apps without SCIM. That covers apps where the company isn’t on the plan that includes SCIM and apps that don’t offer SCIM on any plan. Agent Cake signs in to the app with its own admin login and makes the change the way an admin would. Companies get the account automation usually sold with enterprise plans, while staying on the plan they already pay for.

5. Waits for Approval and Logs Every Change

Agent Cake never decides who gets access. People do, when they confirm a hire or a departure, approve a request or pick which groups skip the check. Agent Cake only carries out the decision. We recommend running Agent Cake on its own service accountGlossaryService AccountA service account is a non-human identity used by applications, services, or automated processes to authenticate and interact with other systems.…, such as agent.cake@company.com. Its work then stays apart from anyone’s daily activity in the app, and the account can be limited to the rights it needs and watched on its own. Cakewalk also records every Agent Cake action in its audit logGlossaryAudit TrailAn audit trail is a chronological record of system activities that provides documentary evidence of the sequence of actions taken by users, agents… and shows which runs succeeded or failed in each app.

The admin logins Agent Cake uses are encrypted in your browser before they ever reach Cakewalk, and stored in a database that belongs to your company alone. They are unlocked only in memory while a job runs, thrown away when it ends and never written down in plain text. Every unlock is logged through Amazon KMS.

6. Closes the Door for AI Agents Too

The last duty in the job posting is to make sure people's AI agents lose access when the people do, which matters because an agent that keeps a former employee's access can keep acting in the company's apps. AI agents have no identity of their own but borrow the one of the user delegating the task to them through OAuthGlossaryOAuth 2.0OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on third-party…. They run in agent platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, with the access of the person who hands them a task. So the apps Agent Cake grants and removes also decide which apps a person's agents can access. When a project's access ends, the agents lose it too. For companies that also run Cakewalk's Agent Access, which governs what AI agents may do in company apps, the MCP GatewayKnowledgeRuntime Governance: The Missing Layer for Agent AccessFive industry responses are shaping agent identity and authentication. None governs what agents do at runtime. This article maps the gap and the four… checks every tool call an agent makes against the company's policies as it happens. In that setup, offboarding also removes a person's agent access.
