Agent Credential Security

Your Agent Can
Read Your Passwords.
Vault Makes
Sure It Can't.

AI agents with tool access can read, forward, and exfiltrate your API keys, database passwords, and credit cards. SupraWall Vault gives agents permissioned access to services without ever exposing the raw credential — even to the LLM itself.

The Threat

One Injection. All Your Secrets. Gone.

Your agent has access to your Stripe API key, your database password, your SMTP credentials. When a prompt injection tricks it into calling a malicious webhook, it sends everything it can access — including every credential in its context window.

In 2025, a production LangChain agent was tricked into emailing its entire .env file to an external address via an indirect injection hidden in a web search result.

Insecure Agent — No Vault

How It Works

Your Agent Authenticates.
It Never Reads.

01

Store

Add Secrets to Vault

Add your secrets via the dashboard, CLI, or API. Each secret gets a reference ID and a scope policy defining which agents can access it and for which tool calls.

suprawall vault set stripe_key "sk_live_..."
02

Scope

Define Granular Policies

"Agent:billing-bot can use stripe_key ONLY for stripe.charges.create". The LLM never sees the credential — it only knows a Vault reference exists for that tool.

scope: "stripe.charges.create"
03

Shield

Runtime Injection

At runtime, SupraWall validates the policy, injects the credential at the SDK level, and executes the call. The raw secret never enters the LLM context.

// Vault injects at SDK — LLM never sees raw key

Why SupraWall

Not Another HashiCorp.
Built for AI Agents.

Traditional secrets managers protect secrets from services. SupraWall Vault protects secrets from the LLM itself.

Integration

One Import.
Zero Credentials in Your LLM.

TypeScript / Python
import { secure_agent, vault } from "suprawall";

// Store secret once (via CLI or dashboard):
// suprawall vault set stripe_key "sk_live_4eC39..."
// suprawall vault set db_password "prod_X7!kM9rT"

const secured = secure_agent(myAgent, {
  vault: {
    stripe_key: {
      scope: "stripe.charges.create",  // only for this tool
    },
    db_password: {
      scope: "database.query.select",  // read-only queries only
    },
  },
  policies: [
    { tool: "webhook.*", action: "DENY" },  // block all webhooks
    { tool: "http.external.*", action: "DENY" },
  ],
});

// Agent can now call Stripe and query DB
// The LLM NEVER sees sk_live_ or the password
const result = await secured.invoke({ input: "Charge $49" });
