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…

Hey HN, I’ve built Open Codex, a fully local, open-source alternative to OpenAI’s Codex CLI. My initial plan was to fork their project and extend it. I even started doing that. But it turned out their code has several leaky abstractions, which made it hard to override core behavior cleanly. Shortly after, OpenAI introduced breaking changes. Maintaining my customizations on top became increasingly difficult. So I rewrote the whole thing from scratch using Python. My version is designed to support local LLMs. Right now, it only works with phi-4-mini (GGUF) via…

Hey, I'm Martyn and I recently joined Zuplo. OpenAPI is a huge part of what we do, but getting a document up to scratch out of the gate, especially if you're not super well versed in the actual specification and what you should use and when. So we built a suite of tools to help with this called Rate My OpenAPI. It will score your OpenAPI document out of 100, as well as giving you individual scores in 4 key areas; completeness, SDK generation, security and documentation. Along with the score, you also get details of what the issues, or errors are, as well as guidance on what they actually…

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. We're thrilled to announce that we're open-sourcing our alerting CLI tool, Keep (https://github.com/keephq/keep). Designed by developers for developers, Keep streamlines and simplifies alerting, making it a first-class citizen within the development process. Think of Keep as Prometheus Alertmanager but for all observability tools, with a simple and intuitive (GitHub actions-like) syntax. We believe that alerting has historically been neglected in existing monitoring platforms, leading to subpar alerting practices. With Keep,…
