# Zoom (/kb/guide/toolkits-zoom)

## Zoom custom OAuth apps may only connect users in the app owner's Zoom organization unless configured/approved otherwise [#zoom-custom-oauth-apps-may-only-connect-users-in-the-app-owners-zoom-organization-unless-configuredapproved-otherwise]

If you are using your own Zoom OAuth app, verify whether the users you are connecting belong to the same Zoom organization or whether the app is published/approved for external users. An unpublished internal app may only connect users from its own Zoom organization.

## Zoom should use the default Composio redirect URL unless the auth guide says otherwise [#zoom-should-use-the-default-composio-redirect-url-unless-the-auth-guide-says-otherwise]

For Zoom OAuth setup, do not arbitrarily change the redirect URL. Use the default redirect URL/callback shown by Composio or the Zoom auth guide. If auth fails after redirect changes, recreate or update the auth config with the default redirect URL.

## `ZOOM_GET_A_MEETING_SUMMARY` needs the correct past-meeting UUID and auto summary enabled [#zoom_get_a_meeting_summary-needs-the-correct-past-meeting-uuid-and-auto-summary-enabled]

For Zoom meeting summaries, verify that the meeting was created with `settings__auto_start_meeting_summary=true`. Then fetch the correct past-meeting UUID from Zoom's `/v2/past_meetings/{meetingId}/instances` endpoint and use that UUID with `ZOOM_GET_A_MEETING_SUMMARY`; the numeric meeting ID alone may not be sufficient.

## Zoom delete/summary tools may require extra scopes in a custom OAuth app [#zoom-deletesummary-tools-may-require-extra-scopes-in-a-custom-oauth-app]

If a Zoom tool fails with a scope or permission issue, check whether the required scope is configured on the customer's Zoom OAuth app. `ZOOM_DELETE_A_MEETING` needs `meeting:write` or `meeting:write:admin`, while fetching past meeting instances or summary UUIDs needs `meeting:read:list_past_instances`.

## Zoom OAuth consent branding comes from the customer's OAuth app [#zoom-oauth-consent-branding-comes-from-the-customers-oauth-app]

For Zoom OAuth branding, use the customer's own Zoom OAuth app. The OAuth consent screen logo/name is picked up from the OAuth app settings rather than from Composio alone.

# Composio SDK — Notes for AI Code Generators

**Purpose:** Reference for generating current (v3) [Composio](https://composio.dev/) integration code.
**Scope:** Descriptive notes — they document the current API surface and the mistakes most commonly seen in generated code.

---

## 1. Recommended Integration: Sessions

Composio supports two integration modes: **Native Tools** (with a provider package) and **MCP** (no provider package needed).

### Native Tools

```python
# ✅ CORRECT — Python (defaults to OpenAI)
from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()
session = composio.create(user_id="user_123")
tools = session.tools()
# Pass tools to your agent/LLM framework
```

```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT — TypeScript (defaults to OpenAI)
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const session = await composio.create("user_123");
const tools = await session.tools();
// Pass tools to your agent/LLM framework
```

For other providers, pass the provider explicitly. Provider packages follow the naming convention: `composio_<provider>` for Python, `@composio/<provider>` for TypeScript.

### MCP

Use `session.mcp.url` and `session.mcp.headers` with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI Agents, etc.). No provider package needed.

---

## 2. Integration Notes

- `composio.create(user_id)` is the standard entry point for agent integrations. Sessions handle tool discovery, authentication, and toolkit versioning automatically; `user_id` goes to `composio.create()` — individual tool calls in session mode don't take one.
- Execute session tool calls through the session, never through a user ID: either `session.execute(tool_slug, arguments=...)` / `session.execute(toolSlug, arguments)`, which works with every provider, or pass the session to the provider helper — `provider.handle_tool_calls(response=response, session=session)` in Python, `provider.handleToolCalls(session, response)` in TypeScript. The tool-call helpers of every non-agentic provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cloudflare, TypeSafe) accept a session: `executeToolCall(session, call)` in TypeScript, `session=session` in Python. Agentic providers execute session tools on their own. Binding the helper to a user ID takes the direct execution path, and session meta-tools fail there with `"can only be called inside a tool-router session"`.
- Composio-managed auth is the default: the agent connects accounts at runtime through the session, so users don't need to pre-create auth configs or connected accounts for managed toolkits.
- Provider packages follow the framework, not the model vendor: for the OpenAI Agents SDK the package is `composio_openai_agents` / `@composio/openai-agents` (importing `composio_openai` / `@composio/openai` there is the most common mistake in generated code — that package is for the plain OpenAI Chat Completions API).
- **Direct execution** (`composio.tools.get()`, `composio.tools.execute()`, `provider.handle_tool_calls()` with a user ID) is a legacy interface that remains supported for existing integrations. Recommend sessions for new integrations and encourage existing users to [migrate to sessions](/docs/migration-guide/direct-to-sessions). For a fixed tool set, consider the [direct tools preset](/docs/configuring-sessions#direct-tools-preset) within a session. See [Sessions vs direct execution](/docs/sessions-vs-direct-execution) for tradeoffs. Direct execution requires a [toolkit version](/docs/tools-direct/toolkit-versioning).

# 3. Calling the REST API directly

## REST API version

The current REST API version is **v3.1**, served at `https://backend.composio.dev/api/v3.1`. Prefer it for new code and new examples.

`https://backend.composio.dev/api/v3` is the previous version. It is frozen with pinned tool-version defaults and remains supported — existing v3 integrations keep working and do not need to migrate.

## Tool-endpoint version defaults on v3.1

On v3.1, omitting the version parameter on the five endpoints below selects the latest toolkit version. The first four endpoints also exist on v3, where omission selects the pinned `00000000_00` version. `POST /tools/scopes/required` is v3.1-only.

| Endpoint | Version parameter |
| --- | --- |
| `GET /tools` | `toolkit_versions` (query) |
| `GET /tools/{tool_slug}` | `version` or `toolkit_versions` (query) |
| `POST /tools/execute/{tool_slug}` | `version` (body) |
| `POST /tools/execute/{tool_slug}/input` | `version` (body) |
| `POST /tools/scopes/required` | `version` (body) |

A v3.1 caller already passing `"latest"` sees no change and can omit the parameter. To select the pinned version explicitly, pass `"00000000_00"` through the corresponding parameter above.

This version-default change is limited to the five endpoints above.

## Terminology Migration (old → current)

If you encounter these terms in error messages, old documentation, or user prompts, translate them to the current equivalents. **Do not use the old terms in generated code or explanations.**

| Old term (v1/v2) | Current term (v3) | In code |
|---|---|---|
| entity ID | user ID | `user_id` parameter |
| actions | tools | e.g., `GITHUB_CREATE_ISSUE` is a *tool* |
| apps / appType | toolkits | e.g., `github` is a *toolkit* |
| integration / integration ID | auth config / auth config ID | `auth_config_id` parameter |
| connection | connected account | `connected_accounts` namespace |
| ComposioToolSet / OpenAIToolSet | `Composio` class with a provider | `Composio(provider=...)` |
| toolset | provider | e.g., `OpenAIProvider` |

If a user says "entity ID", they mean `user_id`. If they say "integration", they mean "auth config". Always respond using the current terminology.
