Overview
Box is a cloud content management and file sharing platform designed primarily for enterprises, offering secure storage, collaboration, and workflow capabilities.
Ferentin integration
Box Remote MCP Server is a standardized bridge that enables AI agents to securely access and interact with Box content through the Model Context Protocol using OAuth authorization.
Common use cases
Enterprise search
Let agents find the right document across approved Box folders using keyword and metadata search, without opening up the whole content estate.
Governed retrieval
Detect and mask sensitive content in Box files before it reaches the model, with every retrieval written to the audit log.
Controlled actions
Allow uploads, moves and metadata changes only where Ferentin policy permits, so agents can act without unsupervised write access.

Frequently asked about Box
- What can AI agents do with Box through Ferentin?

- How does Ferentin secure Box access?
- Requests through the Box integration are covered by PII detection, PII masking, audit logging, content moderation, encryption at rest and encryption in transit. These controls are applied by Ferentin, not by Box, so they hold across every connected agent.
- What permissions does the Box integration require?
- The Box integration requests 1 OAuth 2.0 scope: root_readwrite (elevated access) — Read, create and modify content across the enterprise Box account.
- How do I connect Box to Ferentin?
- Open the Ferentin admin console, add Box as a new connection and authenticate with OAuth 2.0. You then choose which permissions and which tools your agents may use, and the connection goes live for everyone covered by your policies.
