Infisical's Agent Vault Proxies API Credentials to Keep AI Agents Secure
Infisical has introduced Agent Vault, an HTTP proxy designed to manage API credentials for AI agents without exposing secrets to the agent runtime. Instead of embedding API keys in prompts or environment variables, the proxy intercepts outbound requests and injects the appropriate credentials on the fly based on configured route patterns. The system enforces least-privilege access, blocking any request to an unconfigured API route with a 403 response, and logs every transaction for auditing. Agent Vault also handles credential rotation transparently through lazy refresh and background polling, so long-running agent workflows are never disrupted by expiring secrets. No SDK changes are required on the agent side, as the agent simply points its tool calls to the proxy endpoint instead of the real API.
