Agent frameworks universally rely on static API keys that create single points of failure, cannot be scoped to specific authorized capabilities, and are incompatible with truly autonomous operation where agents must acquire and relinquish permissions dynamically. Because credentials are persistent secrets rather than verifiable, capability-bound tokens, a compromised or misbehaving agent exposes the full scope of access rather than a bounded subset. There is no standard infrastructure for agents to issue, rotate, or verify scoped dynamic credentials at the agent-to-agent interaction layer.

Static API keys give agents unlimited, unrevocable access — a single compromise exposes everything; there's no standard way for agents to issue, verify, or scope time-bound capability tokens to each other.

AI agent framework developers and enterprises deploying multi-agent systems that interact with external APIs and other agents autonomously.

As agent swarms move from demos to production (CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph deployments), security teams are blocking rollouts specifically because static keys can't be scoped or revoked per-task — this is a concrete deployment gate, and teams already pay for secrets management (Vault, AWS IAM) but have nothing agent-native.

MVP is an open-source sidecar/SDK that issues short-lived, capability-scoped JWTs (think OAuth for agents) with a lightweight registry where agents register capabilities and verify tokens; start with integrations for 2-3 top frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen) and a hosted verification endpoint.

Subset of the $4B+ API security and identity management market, rapidly expanding as enterprise agent deployments grow from thousands to millions of autonomous agent-to-agent interactions.
