keychains.dev▲177Hi HN — I’m a heavy OpenClaw user and, like many others, I’ve been thinking about how to give these new “unleashed” agents secure access to my accounts. Agents need API access to be useful. But API keys are long-lived secrets. And agents are not secure environments. So I built something for myself that quickly turned into a product: keychains.dev. The idea is simple: agents never see raw credentials. With Keychains.dev: • Agents make API calls via a drop-in replacement for curl or JavaScript’s fetch() • They use template variable names instead of embedding credentials • The request is…

Latchkey▲122Hi HN, At Imbue, we’ve been following the rapid developments in the agent landscape and noticed that the way agents interact with third-party services on users’ behalf often leaves a lot to be desired. Integrations are ad hoc, complicated, context-heavy, and either unfriendly to non-technical users or tied to a lock-in of some sort. We‘re experimenting with a command-line tool, Latchkey, that could be used by local agents targeted at non-technical users while avoiding remote intermediaries. As far as we know, this is the only existing approach at the intersection of these two goals. Core…

We built OneCLI because AI agents are being given raw API keys. And it's going about as well as you'd expect. We figured the answer isn't "don't give agents access," it's "give them access without giving them secrets." OneCLI is an open-source gateway that sits between your AI agents and the services they call. You store your real credentials once in OneCLI's encrypted vault, and give your agents placeholder keys. When an agent makes an HTTP call through the proxy, OneCLI matches the request by host/path, verifies the agent should have access, swaps the placeholder for the real…

over this weekend myself and two of my friends took part in a hackathon and built this side-project. we have been diving into computer-use recently and developed an sdk to make it easy to implement for devs like us. one feature we were missing though, was the agent being able to log into services. anthropic understandably blocks this capability with their guardrails, and you wouldn't want your credentials to end up in any model context anyways. so we added a keychain service to the vm that the agent is using. it was built using the pass cli (https://www.passwordstore.org/).…

Our team lives in Slack, but we don’t have access to the Slack MCP and couldn’t find anything out there that worked for us, so we coded our own agent-slack CLI * Can paste in Slack URLs * Token efficient * Zero-config (auto auth if you use Slack Desktop) Auto downloads files/snippets. Also can read Slack canvases as markdown! MIT License

Designed for AI Agents : API access without your real keys

I’ve been experimenting with AI agents lately, and one problem kept coming up: they either get a raw API key with full access or nothing at all. That’s risky, especially if you’re testing agents that can make arbitrary calls. So I hacked together a tiny package called Kage Keys - https://github.com/kagehq/keys It lets you wrap agent actions with scoped, short-lived tokens instead of handing over your real API keys. Example: ```js import { withAgentKey, getLogs } from "@kagehq/keys"; async function main() { await withAgentKey("github:repos.read", async () => {…

We wanted to build a development environment that can make you a better agentic engineer, not a tool that makes money when you waste tokens. A tool where you can swap models between turns, edit the context, and see every agent action. To do it, we had to build our own harness. Free to use. We don't sell inference, so bring your own key. The sore spot is Claude subscriptions. We can't support them because of Anthropic's terms. The app runs on your machine, and your data never touches our servers. We've been building Voidleap Code using Voidleap Code since January. We didn't rush to launch,…

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…

I"m the creator of dotenv and dotenvx. A month ago I started building a way for agents to store and rotate secrets as part of dotenvx and I ran into a problem. Agents can't sign themselves up autonomously. They need a way to do this - without a human in the loop. I searched for solutions but wasn't happy with any so I created Vestauth. Here's how it works: It manages both the agent and the provider side. The agent with one command can set up a cryptographic identity avoiding human designed handshake mechanisms like OAuth. And on the provider side there is no management of API keys, no…

Hey HN - I'm Mason, and I'm excited to share AgentCash - a CLI to help your agent discover and pay for premium APIs and paywalled data. The problem we kept running into was simple: if you want an agent to use premium data or services, the setup flow is awful. You have to find the right provider, sign up manually, subscribe, generate an API key, install tooling, and then teach your agent how to use it. Then do that again for the next provider. We wanted a simpler model: give the agent a universal balance, let it discover available resources, and let it pay per call. So AgentCash gives agents…
