Add a Credential Gateway for Your Agents
Roger_M_Taylor · x · 2026-07-14
This post reminds us not to hand raw API keys directly to AI agents. The author recommends a more secure architecture: - Credentials are managed by a gateway layer - Agents only receive restricted permissions and safe returned results - OpenConnector offers an open-source, self-hostable solution - It supports 1,000+ apps and is MCP-native The focus isn't on "just another connector," but on isolating credential management, permission boundaries, and agent calls.
