Project API Key Permissions
Proxy Execute requires an explicitly allowed Project API key
Create a scoped Project API key in the Dashboard and enable Proxy Execute during key creation before calling the v3.1 Proxy Execute API. If a request is denied, verify the key's scope before debugging the provider connection. Use a fresh request ID from the correctly scoped key when contacting Composio support is still necessary.
Tool Router session creation requires Sessions write access
For scoped Project API keys, creating a session through composio.sessions.create(...) or POST /api/v3.1/tool_router/session requires the Sessions permission with write or read/write access.
A key can successfully call GET /api/v3.1/toolkits with Toolkits read access and still be unable to create a session. The SDK can surface a scoped-permission denial as a generic 401 Invalid API key.
Create a new Project API key with Sessions set to Read and write, or use an appropriate full-access Project API key, then retry session creation.
Tool execution requires Tool execution write access
For a scoped Project API key, composio.tools.execute() and the tool-execute API require Tool execution set to Write or Read and write. A key without that permission can surface a generic 401 Invalid API key even when the key exists and is active.
Create a correctly scoped Project API key or use an appropriate full-access Project API key, then retry. The current API may return a generic permission error, so diagnose this behavior from the key's permissions.
