What it does

KeyRunner 2.0 goes beyond API testing. Teams can now turn tested APIs into tools for AI agents, connect them through MCP or SDK, and run them securely with credentials, policies, approvals, redaction, and observability built in. It brings API development and agent execution into one workflow, without exposing production secrets to the agent.

KeyRunner converts enterprise APIs into governed AI tools. Agents execute approved actions with policy enforcement, runtime credential isolation, and full audit trails, without ever receiving secrets. Free API client for developers. Enterprise governance for agentic workflows.

KeyRunner is the governed execution layer for enterprise AI agents. Connect an existing API, add the KeyRunner SDK, onboard your agent, and run governed actions with policy enforcement, runtime secret injection, approvals, redaction, and auditability built in. KeyRunner converts enterprise APIs into governed AI tools. Connect your API, add the SDK, onboard your agent, and run governed actions with policy enforcement, secret injection, and full audit trails. Internal API workflows often require tokens, service accounts, OAuth grants, or environment secrets. When agents, scripts, or MCP tools handle them directly, credentials can leak into logs, traces, prompts, local files, or overly broad…from keyrunner.app

    Hi 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…

    api2ai parses OpenAPI Spec to generate an agent that can make API calls. For context, I recently need to explore a handful of API suites and thought LLMs can help expedite this process. After some digging, I found OpenAPI Specs are perfect fit for function calling. Based on a text prompt, api2ai can select the right endpoint and properly parse request params and make api calls. It also handles authentication, currently it supports basic auth, api keys, and bearer token schemes. The tool has helped me explore and see APIs in action without a deep dive into the docs or using postman. It’s open…
