Grok Bot security checklist
A practical Grok Bot security checklist covering identities, shared computer, connectors, approvals, evidence, public sharing, spend and offboarding.
Short answerDo not schedule a business workflow until its Bot has a dedicated identity, minimum access, bounded inputs, explicit approval rules, evidence requirements, spend controls and a documented offboarding path.
- [ ] No human account is signed in anywhere on the shared computer
- [ ] Every Bot has its own email and its own seat/user in each tool
- [ ] Every token was created from a Bot account and scoped to its routines
- [ ] No token has ever been pasted into a chat message
- [ ] Every connector under Plugins is authorised as a Bot user
- [ ] Composio (if used) authorisations reviewed and attributed
- [ ] Every routine that reads outside text has no unattended send/pay/delete/settings powers
- [ ] Approval rules written per routine: never / always / threshold
- [ ] Bot-to-Bot instructions to act are treated as requests for approval
- [ ] Every result names its sources, timestamps and anything it could not verify
- [ ] Every routine stops when required data is missing, stale or conflicting
- [ ] Public Bot shares are sanitized copies with no secrets, clients or internal URLs
- [ ] On-demand rule set; spend watcher at 60/85%; kill procedure practised
- [ ] Heartbeat log in place; silent failures surface within a day
- [ ] Offboarding order documented for each Bot (revoke → remove connector → sign out → delete files → delete Bot → delete email)
Use the public sharing cleanup, stale-data fix and evidence-block fix for the three review controls above. Review the full checklist before connecting tools or scheduling a workflow.
