OAuth credential delegation for AI agents

- 2KD
Every AI agent that does something useful - opening a PR, posting in Slack, updating a ticket - needs to call an API on behalf of a user. That means OAuth. Authorization flows, token storage, refresh logic, per-user credential isolation. Today, most teams solve this with a long-lived API key in an .env file, shared across every user and every session. As everyone in an organization becomes a software engineer - whether they know it or not - you can't expect each of them to roll their own OAuth. Secure credential handling needs to be baked into the infrastructure. The core issue: agents are a…

MachineAuth is a self-hosted OAuth 2.0 server for authenticating AI agents and machines. What is an AI agent in this context? A software bot (like OpenCLAW, Claude Code, etc.) that makes API calls to access protected resources. Instead of sharing long-lived API keys, your agents can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials and receive short-lived JWT tokens. Why? No more sharing API keys Short-lived tokens (configurable) Easy credential rotation Industry-standard security

AI agents are starting to get real access like GitHub tokens, cloud credentials, customer data, deploy permissions. Not coincidentally, the rate of major cybersecurity incidents is rising rapidly. See for yourself: https://epoch.ai/data/cve?view=graph https://genai.owasp.org/resource/state-of-agentic-ai-securit... My friend and I, both AI researchers, are working on fixing this through an open-source project we've just started called Clay Seal. We've started with a simple version of Identity: an open-source way to issue short-lived, verifiable…

Vincent lets users safely grant apps/agents limited, revocable permission to use their wallets. Think “OAuth for crypto actions”: you define scopes (e.g., “rebalance stables on Aave up to $1k/day”), users approve, and your app runs within on-chain guardrails. Non-custodial. Built with Lit Protocol's decentralized programmable signing.

Hi Guys, I built SecretEnv to help solve one common thing that I have seen at every org, that I have worked at. We always had more than one password/credential manager. Service tokens maybe in Vault, AWS SSM etc and some team specific service account or temp account credentials being store in another password store such as 1Password or Keeper, there was never one single credential store. This is where SecretEnv comes in play, it runs any command with secrets injected as env vars, sourced from whatever combination of backend your team already uses. I am sure there are other tools as well…

Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

ZeroID is an open-source agent identity platform that automates the "plumbing" of RFC 8693 and SPIRE. It ensures that every sub-agent in a chain has a down-scoped, verifiable identity without the manual overhead of managing certificates and token exchanges.

Hello, my name is Andrei. My friends and I recently built CentralMind Getaway, an open-source tool that automatically generates AI-agent-optimized APIs from your database connection. It’s designed for those who don’t want to expose direct SQL access to their databases and prefer not to spend time building these APIs manually. What it does: - Auto-generates APIs from your database connection, infer schema & sample data using AI - Filters out PII and sensitive data for compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, etc.) - Optimized for AI-Agent with extra meta information and REST and MCP protocol support -…

Hi HN. I'm the founder of Phoenix Labs (ex TikTok, Applied AI) and we're open sourcing our internal tooling today which is like a toolchain / meta-harness for CLI agents useful for really scaling eng and creative work. We are a very small team who's building a very ambitious product so we had to find ways to squeeze every ounce of efficiency that we could get our hands on. Harness strengths of different models (Claude, GPTs) and CLI-harnesses (Claude Code, Codex), safe/robust browser integration to speed up UX/QA testing, teams cli to speed up security reviews and parallelize…
