Secure Credential Management for AI Agents

Agent Vault is an open-source HTTP credential proxy and vault designed to enhance the security of AI agents by managing their access to APIs without exposing sensitive credentials. This tool mitigates the risk of credential exfiltration by ensuring that agents do not directly handle credentials.

Key features:

• Brokered Access - Agents receive scoped sessions and route requests through a local proxy that injects credentials at the network layer.
• Encryption - Credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM, with an optional master password for added security.
• Request Logging - All proxied requests are logged, capturing method, host, path, status, and latency while omitting sensitive data.
• Compatibility - Works with any HTTP-speaking agent, including custom Python and TypeScript agents.
• Installation Options - Supports installation via script, Docker, or from source, accommodating various environments.

Agent Vault is particularly useful for developers working with AI agents, providing a secure method to manage API credentials without compromising security.
