1150-1167: Sync call toget_usersagainSame async inconsistency as in FastAPI example. Adjust to real SDK signature and, if async, run inside an event-loop (
asyncio.runorasync_to_sync).
1214-1221: Django: same token logging leakageSame concern as FastAPI — remove the slice logging.

933-957: Rate-limit store is process-local and not thread-safeUsing a module-level dict for rate limiting will:
- Reset on every process restart.
- Break under multi-worker deployments (Gunicorn, Uvicorn workers).
- Cause race conditions in async contexts.
Document that this is illustrative only and recommend Redis / memcached for production.
Also prefer anasyncio.Lockoranyiosemaphore around dict mutation.
1085-1093:get_management_token_flaskreplicates FastAPI logic – factor outThe logic is 100 % duplicated. Consider extracting a shared helper (pure-python) used by both frameworks to avoid drift.
1254-1263: Userequest.META["token_manager"]orrequest.state, not attribute injectionAttaching arbitrary attributes can collide with future Django fields. Prefer
request._token_manager(underscore) or wrapping insiderequest.META.

1333-1340: URL patterns omit trailing slash consistencyConventionally Django API endpoints end without a trailing slash when
APPEND_SLASH=False. Decide on one style and stick to it; earlier examples use/management/users(no slash).
902-909: Confirm whetherget_token_scopesis asynchronous and update the docs accordinglyIt looks like the example in
src/content/docs/developer-tools/sdks/backend/python-sdk.mdxcallstoken_manager.get_token_scopes()withoutawait, which could silently fail if that method is defined asasync. Since we don’t have the SDK source here, please verify its signature and:
- If it’s
async def get_token_scopes(...), change the snippet to:token_scopes = await token_manager.get_token_scopes()- Otherwise, no change is needed.

• Lines: ~902–909
796-805: Verifyvalidate_and_set_via_introspectionSignatureI wasn’t able to import the SDK in this environment to confirm whether
validate_and_set_via_introspectionis defined as anasync defor a regular method. Please check the actual SDK source (e.g.kinde_sdk/auth/management.py) or your installed package:
- If it’s declared as
async def validate_and_set_via_introspection(…), update the example to:and change the wrapper to- introspection_result = token_manager.validate_and_set_via_introspection(bearer_token) + introspection_result = await token_manager.validate_and_set_via_introspection(bearer_token)async def get_management_token(...).- If it’s a synchronous method, no changes are needed.

801-804: Stop logging bearer tokens altogether
Even trimming to 20 chars is still sensitive. Remove the log or replace with a constant message.- logger.debug(f"Received bearer token (first 20 chars): {bearer_token[:20]}...") + # logger.debug("Bearer token received")
829-833: Second token leakage via logging
The full bearer token is interpolated into the log line. Remove it.- logger.debug(f"ManagementTokenManager instantiated {bearer_token}") + # logger.debug("ManagementTokenManager instantiated")
1011-1019: Fragile string matching for errors – catch concrete exceptions instead
Matching"unauthorized"/"forbidden"in error strings is brittle and localisation-dependent. Raise/handle specific SDK exceptions (KindeUnauthorizedError, etc.).
1116-1120: Token leaked in Flask log
Same leakage issue as in FastAPI example. Drop the log.
1158-1160: Don’t mutateflask.request; useflask.g
Attaching arbitrary attributes to the request proxy can clash with Werkzeug internals. Store thetoken_manageronflask.ginstead.- request.token_manager = token_manager + from flask import g + g.token_manager = token_manager

960-983: In-memory rate limiter is not multi-process safe
A global dict won’t work behind gunicorn/uvicorn workers. Use Redis or another external store, or document this limitation explicitly.

881-886: Cannot verify async signature ofget_users; manual check required
I didn’t find any Python SDK source files in this repo to confirm whetherget_usersis defined asasync defor a regular sync method. Please verify in the Python SDK package itself (e.g., inspect the installedmanagement_clientmodule or its documentation) whetherget_usersis asynchronous.If it is async, update the snippet in
src/content/docs/developer-tools/sdks/backend/python-sdk.mdxto:- users_response = management_client.get_users() + users_response = await management_client.get_users()Otherwise, no change is needed.

803-804: Token-prefix logging still leaks credentials
Earlier feedback (lines 799-804) already covered this. Please remove the[:20]preview entirely.
824-832: Blocking network I/O inside a synchronous dependency – reiterating previous warning
validate_and_set_via_introspection()performs remote introspection yet is called in a plaindefdependency.
This stalls the event-loop and defeats FastAPI’s async benefits. The prior review suggested converting
get_management_tokentoasync defand running the blocking call in a thread executor.
881-884:management_client.get_users()is awaited nowherePrevious reviews established that
get_usersis an async SDK call. Calling it withoutawait
returns a coroutine and the example will confuse readers.- users_response = management_client.get_users() + users_response = await management_client.get_users()
829-830: Remove full bearer token from logs – severe credential leakage
logger.debug(f"ManagementTokenManager instantiated {bearer_token}")dumps the entire bearer token into logs.
This is a direct secret disclosure risk (PII / credentials) that violates OWASP logging guidance.
Replace it with a constant string or a request correlation id.- logger.debug(f"ManagementTokenManager instantiated {bearer_token}") + logger.debug("ManagementTokenManager instantiated")

960-980: In-memory rate limiter is not process-safe
request_countsis a module-level dict.
Under multi-process servers (Gunicorn/Uvicorn workers) or after restart it loses state, and it is not thread-safe.
Consider pointing readers to Redis / Memcached orasyncio.Lock-guarded stores instead.

803-805: Stop logging bearer-token materialEven partial token output (
bearer_token[:20]) is sensitive ‑ it aids token-padding & timing attacks and violates zero-secrets-in-logs guidelines.
Remove these debug statements entirely.- logger.debug(f"Received bearer token (first 20 chars): {bearer_token[:20]}...") ... - logger.debug(f"ManagementTokenManager instantiated {bearer_token}") + # logger.debug("Bearer token received") # avoid leaking PII / secretsAlso applies to: 829-830, 1169-1170, 1298-1299

806-810: Domain stripping can break multi-tenant sub-domains
ManagementTokenManagerexpects a full host, including protocol (https://).
By stripping the scheme you risk mis-constructing discovery URLs (/.well-known/openid-configuration) for custom domains. Consider passing the value as-is.- if domain.startswith(('http://', 'https://')): - domain = domain.split('://', 1)[1] + # Keep scheme; the SDK handles full URLs.
1207-1210: Avoid mutating framework request objectsStoring
token_managerong(Flask) was good, but Django snippet mutatesrequest.token_manager.
Consider usingrequest.state(ASGI) or a customSimpleLazyObjectinstead to avoid namespace clashes.- request.token_manager = token_manager + request._kinde_token_manager = token_manager # at least prefix to avoid collisionsAlso applies to: 1336-1339

66-78: Remove hard-codedCODE_VERIFIERfrom the example.env
CODE_VERIFIERshould be generated per-request during the PKCE flow; publishing a static value can mislead users
into thinking it is required or safe to store. Either drop the line entirely or add a comment explicitly warning
that it is only for illustrative purposes.-# PKCE helper (auto-generated by the SDK if omitted) -CODE_VERIFIER=YOUR_CODE_VERIFIER
686-701: Add a note about secret handling for M2M credentialsThe snippet shows plain-text client secrets in
.env.
A brief reminder to store these securely (e.g. secrets manager, CI variables) helps prevent accidental commits of
sensitive data.

Learning: In the project documentation, the `/kinde-apis/management` and `/kinde-apis/frontend` pages use a third-party API reference and client that loads a Single Page Application (SPA). Therefore, links to sections within these pages are valid, even if they appear to point to non-existent sections in static analysis, and should not be flagged.

No further action required.
149-180: Automatic-route example OKThe wrapper shows minimal setup for both Flask and FastAPI and matches the earlier snippet.
Looks good to ship.
