Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my own developer credentials to use Gitlab with Composio?

No, you can get started immediately using Composio's built-in Gitlab app. For production, we recommend configuring your own OAuth credentials.

Can I use multiple toolkits together?

Yes! Composio's Tool Router enables agents to use multiple toolkits. Learn more.

Is Composio secure?

Composio is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant with all data encrypted in transit and at rest. Learn more.

What if the API changes?

Composio maintains and updates all toolkit integrations automatically, so your agents always work with the latest API versions.
