Airtable lets approved agents work with records in the bases granted to Worklayer. Treat record deletion separately from ordinary lookup or editing when deciding which tools to allow.

​
Grant base access

An administrator opens Settings > Integrations > Available > Airtable and connects the intended Airtable workspace or bases. Review the bases granted during the provider flow. In Tool permissions, read tools include listing bases, reading a base schema, and listing records. Write tools include creating, updating, and deleting records, plus commenting on a record.

​
Scope an agent

Check the agent’s Instructions for the intended base, record, and operation. Give it only the Airtable tools its job requires. An agent that looks up a roster needs different access from one that edits a tracker. After a run, inspect the changed record or comment in Airtable.
Delete record is a separate write tool. Block it unless the agent’s job requires deletion and the intended base is clear.
If the agent cannot find a base, check the provider grant first. If it reads but cannot update records, review both the provider write permission and the agent’s own permissions.
