Custom Activity Scope Troubles

I have a custom activity scope that passes an private authentication token to it’s children. The only issue is I don’t know how to check and see if the child activity (the code pictured below) is inside of the correct parent scope.

I have an attempted solution for this at the var parentScope line but it doesn’t work properly, and even when placed inside of a scope it prints that the parentscope is null.

protected override async Task<Action<AsyncCodeActivityContext>> ExecuteAsync(AsyncCodeActivityContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    // Inputs
    var limit = Limit.Get(context);
    var offset = Offset.Get(context);
    var query = Query.Get(context);

    var parentScope = context.DataContext.GetProperties()["Parent"]?.GetValue(context.DataContext) as AuthenticationScope;
    if (parentScope == null)
        throw new InvalidOperationException($"GetDocuments must be used within a WEBI AuthenticationScope. Current scope is {parentScope}");
        //throw new InvalidOperationException($"Context Classname: {context.DataContext.GetClassName()}, Context Properties 0: {context.DataContext.GetProperties()[0]}");

    AuthorizationToken = parentScope.GrabAuthToken(context);
    BaseUrl = parentScope.GrabBaseUrl(context);


    List<WEBIDocument> WEBIDocumentList = await GetDocumentList(query, offset, limit);

    // Outputs
    return (ctx) => {
        DocumentList.Set(ctx, WEBIDocumentList);
    };
}
