Credential & Access Infrastructure

Secure credential layer for AI-assisted systems.

SecretsAPI protects API keys, model credentials, customer data, product feeds, affiliate links, brand assets, and private workflow inputs as AI systems generate, deploy, and act across connected tools.

01
Scope every credential
Issue bounded, time-limited tokens for each agent intent — never raw keys.
02
Audit every access event
Every request, grant, and refusal is signed and appended to a tamper-evident trail.
03
Revoke unsafe exposure
Detect drift, score exposure, and revoke or rotate in seconds — not deploy cycles.

An operator surface for credentials, scopes, and exposure.

Every active secret, every recent access, every queued rotation — visible in one console. Operators see what was scoped, by whom, under which policy, and where exposure is rising.

Trace, replay, and propagate revocation in one surface.

Trace every scoped credential from issuance to revocation. Replay access lineage across AI-assisted workflows. Propagate revocation before downstream exposure expands.

Containment, propagated.

When a credential is compromised, the broker isolates the trust boundary, revokes derivatives, issues scoped replacements, and replays the audit chain. Visible at every hop.

Replay every exposure event, signed.

Anomaly detection, policy escalation, downstream invalidation, replacement issuance, replay verification, and audit signing — replayable, hash-linked, and exportable.

A small, opinionated surface for credential operations.

Scope, issue, rotate, revoke, and audit — six endpoints, signed tokens, deterministic responses. The broker is the authority; your services hold the action, never the secret.

Designed to protect modern AI infrastructure.

Conceptual integrations covering the surfaces AI systems touch most: model providers, commerce, creative pipelines, cloud, and deployment infrastructure.

OpenAI
Scope model-access credentials per agent intent.
Anthropic
Protect agent and model keys behind signed grants.
Shopify
Secure product feeds and ecommerce tokens.
Google Drive
Protect private brand and campaign files.
Canva
Control access to unpublished creative assets.
Figma
Secure design system assets and library access.
AWS
Manage cloud secrets and service credentials.
Vercel
Protect deployment environment variables.
Stripe
Secure payment-related access tokens.
GitHub
Protect repository and workflow credentials.
Conceptual ecosystem fit — not necessarily installed integrations.

Where SecretsAPI fits.

01

AI agent tool access

One intent, one token, one TTL. Never raw keys.

02

Creative pipelines

Scope brand files, video-gen tokens, and affiliate links.

03

Ecommerce automation

Protect product feeds, customer segments, and promo systems.

04

Enterprise AI governance

Audit who, what, when, why — across every connected tool.

05

Model-provider access

Scope, rotate, and revoke model keys per agent.

Operator reference.

Credential lifecycle

Sealed at rest. Minted per intent. Scoped to one resource. Expires on its own.

Scoped token model

One resource, one operation, one TTL, one principal. Out-of-scope calls refused at the broker.

Rotation workflows

Triggered by drift, exposure, or schedule. Signed handoff to dependents. Previous material sealed.

Exposure scoring

Derived from scope breadth, call velocity, distinct callers, refusals. Thresholds queue rotation.

Policy verification

Versioned policies evaluated per request. Principal, resource, amount, and attestation gates.

Audit trail schema

Signed record with secret id, scope, principal, policy ref, env, exposure, hash-linked. Append-only.

Revocation events

Propagates within one broker round-trip. In-flight calls refused with audit ref.
