When to use Arcade

Arcade is listed for Auth, Data workflows. Arcade provides an MCP runtime for production AI agents, focused on secure real-world actions across services such as Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Salesforce, and Microsoft 365. It handles OAuth, user-specific authorization, tool execution, and centralized governance so agents can act on behalf of users without developers managing tokens and custom auth flows. Consider it when an agent needs this capability through a documented service boundary instead of custom infrastructure maintained inside the application.

In 4agent's task model, the product maps to web extraction, workflow automation, authentication and secrets. That makes it a candidate for workflows that research the web, manage memory and knowledge, communicate with users, automate business workflows.
