Agent Vault: The Open Source Credential Proxy and Vault for Agents

Agent Vault is an innovative open-source credential proxy and vault designed to tackle the challenge of securely managing secrets for non-deterministic agents, which traditional computing paradigms struggle with. Developed by Infisical, the project addresses the risk of credential exfiltration by separating agents from direct access to secrets, instead brokering credentials at a proxy layer. This approach ensures that agents, which can be easily manipulated, do not directly handle sensitive information, thereby enhancing security. Agent Vault operates as a local forward HTTPS proxy, intercepting and brokering credentials for requests made by agents to external services, thus preventing the direct exposure of secrets. This system is adaptable to various agent architectures and provides a unified method for credential management across different interfaces like APIs, CLIs, and SDKs. Currently in research preview, Agent Vault invites community collaboration to refine its functionality, improve security, and expand its capabilities for managing secrets in agentic environments.
