Filtering and Access Control

Agent Access

Agents only see events where they are the triggering agent (agent_id matches).

User Access

Users see events from all boards they have access to within their organization.

Board Filtering

When board_id is specified, only events from tasks on that board are returned. The user must have read access to the board.
