Hey HN! Today we're launching Agent Vault - an open source HTTP credential proxy and vault for AI agents. Repo is at https://github.com/Infisical/agent-vault, and there's an in-depth description at https://infisical.com/blog/agent-vault-the-open-source-crede.... We built Agent Vault in response to a question that been plaguing the industry: How do we give agents secure access to services without them reading any secrets? Most teams building agents have run into this exact problem: They build an agent or agentic system and come to realize at some point…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Hi HN, I built Agent Passport, an open-source identity verification layer for AI agents. Think "Sign in with Google, but for Agents." The problem: AI agents are everywhere now (OpenClaw has 180K+ GitHub stars, Moltbook had 2.3M agent accounts), but there's no standard way for agents to prove their identity. Malicious agents can impersonate others, and skill/plugin marketplaces have no auth layer. Cisco's security team already found data exfiltration in third-party agent skills. Agent Passport solves this with: - Ed25519 challenge-response authentication (private keys never leave the…

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/).…
