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.
