Introducing agent identities: give every AI agent its own credentials and delegated permissions

MintMCP has introduced agent identities, allowing organizations to assign each AI agent a distinct, auditable identity with independently delegated permissions rather than having agents act through the credentials of the human who configured them. The feature addresses issues including indistinguishable human and agent activity in audit logs, excessive inherited access, and credential sharing among multiple agents, particularly as companies deploy team-owned bots, scheduled jobs, and automated workflows. Delivered through agent bundles, the capability groups multiple tool connections under one agent identity while maintaining separate delegated credentials and permission scopes for each service, such as CRM, email, code repositories, or project-management tools. Agents authenticate with their own gateway tokens rather than handling raw credentials, authorized team members can jointly manage bundles without exposing secrets, and every tool call is logged with the responsible agent, delegating user, and time. MintMCP positions the feature as a form of identity governance designed for autonomous, stateful agents, enabling least-privilege access, centralized credential rotation or revocation, and greater confidence in scaling enterprise AI-agent deployments.
