Canva Integration Policy Guardrails

Overview

Encode high-confidence invariants close to the code and verify them again at runtime. Keep provider-dependent facts versioned so a stale numeric limit or preview assumption cannot become permanent policy.

Prerequisites

  • Policy document, owner, enforcement scope, and exception expiry
  • Repository/runtime boundaries and pinned provider contract
  • Current secret, scope, data, CI-event, and preview inventory

Instructions

Step 1: Classify controls

Separate immutable security controls from versioned provider-contract checks and local operational thresholds. Name the authority for each.

Step 2: Add secret controls

Use Write or Edit to block client secrets/tokens in source, frontend bundles, logs, snapshots, artifacts, and untrusted CI; scan examples and failure paths too.

Step 3: Add authorization controls

Require tenant/resource ownership, application policy, explicit minimum scopes, current capabilities, and preview status before dispatch.

Step 4: Add operation controls

Require operation identity for mutations, bounded retry classification, async job reconciliation, and scoped queues for throttling.

Step 5: Add contract controls

Pin OpenAPI or checksum, test unknown fields/statuses safely, detect deprecated/preview surface drift, and require review before regeneration.

Step 6: Add evidence controls

Use Read and Grep to verify each rule fires on a failing fixture, cannot be bypassed by formatting, and produces a redacted reason with owner and exception path.

Step 7: Govern exceptions

Make exceptions narrow, approved, time-bounded, visible in CI, and automatically fail after expiry.

Authentication

Canva Connect calls use Bearer access tokens obtained by a backend through OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with SHA-256 PKCE. Request explicit least-privilege scopes, keep client secrets and tokens out of browser-visible state, and serialize refresh so the replacement single-use refresh token is stored atomically.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for discovery and evidence. Use Write or Edit only for the approved artifact, code, configuration, test, or receipt described by this workflow; do not make an unapproved Canva-side change.

Output

  • Scoped decision or implementation artifact
  • Redacted operation and validation receipt
  • Failure, rollback, and follow-up ownership record

Examples

A CI rule rejects Canva client secrets in browser configuration and privileged live tests on fork events; a runtime guard separately denies a design write without tenant ownership and explicit scope.
