Your AI agents should never hold a secret.
AgentVault8.ai issues just-in-time, IGA-governed credentials to AI agents at the moment of need — scoped, time-bounded, and automatically revoked through 8 independent security layers. No hardcoded keys. Ever.
- Eliminate hardcoded API keys and long-lived secrets from agent code
- Non-human identity governance through Human sponsorship via IGA platforms, HR platforms & Approval Channels
- Every credential request logged, audited, and compliance-ready
How it works
From zero to JIT token in four steps
Steps 1 and 2 are one-time setup. Steps 3 and 4 can be done manually through the dashboard — or skipped entirely by providing an intent in the request body and letting the AI Governance Broker generate the policy and broker automatically.
Endpoint Integration
Register a Proxy Target
Connect the downstream service your agent needs to call — AWS, Salesforce, GitHub, Google Workspace, Azure, Slack, or any other supported target. AgentVault8 stores the integration credentials server-side and uses them solely to issue short-lived tokens on demand. Your agent code never sees the underlying secret.
- 1
Add your target in the Integrations page (e.g. Salesforce Connected App credentials, AWS IAM role ARN, or GitHub App private key).
- 2
AgentVault8 validates the connection by calling the provider's health endpoint — confirming the credentials work before any agent can use them.
- 3
The integration becomes a named proxy target that policies can reference by service ID.
Skip steps 3 and 4 with a single API call
After steps 1 and 2, you can bypass manual policy and broker creation entirely. Describe your agent's intent to the AI Governance Broker and it generates both — along with a live JIT token — in one step.
The "8" in AgentVault8
Eight independent security layers
Every credential request passes through all 8 layers in sequence. A failure at any layer causes an immediate denial with a precise reason code — and an audit event.
Identity Attestation
Verifies agent code integrity via SHA hashes before any credential is issued. Compromised agents are blocked before policy evaluation.
Dynamic Scoping
Narrows cloud provider permissions to the exact resource requested. No agent ever gets broader access than its declared task.
Temporal Logic
Strict TTL enforcement on every issued credential. Global ceiling of 12 hours. Tokens self-destruct automatically at expiry.
Contextual Shielding
Access granted only when the agent is running in a sanctioned environment — verified region, VPC, or deployment context.
Human Sponsor Check
Every AI agent must have a verified human sponsor in your IGA system. AgentVault8 validates the sponsor before the broker is activated and on every access review cycle.
Audit Logging
Immutable record of every request, issuance, denial, and revocation with full context for compliance and forensics.
Policy enforced
Enforced policy on brokers that manage agents.
Auto-Revocation
One-click kill switch immediately revokes all active tokens across every service when an agent is flagged as compromised.
Identity Fabric
Every broker needs a human face
Identity fabric is the connective tissue that links every non-human identity — your AI brokers — back into your organisation's existing governance model. Without it, agent identities are invisible to audit, unaccountable to policy, and impossible to certify during access reviews. AgentVault8 weaves your brokers directly into that fabric by provisioning them inside your IGA platform and assigning a verified human sponsor as their owner and manager.
Brokers are identities, not just services
An AI broker that holds no identity record in your IGA system is a shadow account. Identity fabric closes that gap — every broker gets a provisioned, governed identity the moment it is registered.
Human sponsors enforce accountability
Every broker must have a named human sponsor — a verified employee who owns responsibility for the broker's access. The sponsor is set as the manager in your IGA platform, ensuring access certifications and reviews flow through real people.
Lifecycle managed through your IGA workflow
When a broker is decommissioned or its sponsor leaves the organisation, your existing IGA joiner-mover-leaver process handles revocation automatically — no custom scripts or manual cleanup required.
Certifications, SOD and policy — included
Because the broker exists as a real identity in your IGA platform, it participates in periodic access certifications, separation-of-duty checks, and entitlement reviews — the same governance controls applied to human identities.
Supported IGA platforms
Saviynt
Enterprise Cloud IGA
AgentVault8 calls Saviynt's createUser API to provision the broker as a non-human identity, performs a getUser lookup to resolve the sponsor's Saviynt username, and sets the sponsor as manager — all during broker registration.
SailPoint IdentityNow
Cloud-native IGA
Broker identities are created as accounts on a designated non-human source in SailPoint IdentityNow. The sponsor is linked as the account owner through the Governance API, enabling certifications from day one.
Microsoft Entra ID
Identity platform
The broker is provisioned as a non-human user object in Entra ID via Microsoft Graph. The sponsor's object ID is resolved by email and set as the manager relationship, making the broker visible in all Entra governance reports.
No IGA platform yet? AgentVault8 falls back to email-based sponsor validation — the human sponsor receives a confirmation link before the broker is activated, ensuring human accountability is always present.
HR system connectors
Validate sponsor employment status directly against your HR system. AgentVault8 auto-revokes agent access when a sponsor is terminated or deactivated.
Rippling HR
REST API · Webhooks
Confirms active employment via the Rippling API and listens for employee.terminated webhooks to auto-revoke agents whose sponsor has left.
BambooHR
REST API · Webhooks
Validates sponsor status using the BambooHR employee API. Webhook integration triggers automatic revocation when a sponsor's status changes to inactive or terminated.
Gusto HR
OAuth 2.0 · Webhooks
Queries the Gusto API to confirm active employment before broker provisioning. Webhook events keep agent access in sync with sponsor lifecycle changes in real time.
Approval channels
Route sponsor approval requests directly to your team's existing messaging tools. Sponsors approve or reject with a single button click — no login to AgentVault8 required.
Slack
Block Kit · Interactive buttons
Delivers an interactive Block Kit message to the sponsor in the configured channel. Approve and Reject buttons post the decision back to AgentVault8 in real time.
Microsoft Teams
Adaptive Cards · Webhooks
Sends an Adaptive Card to a Teams channel with Approve and Reject actions. Ideal for organisations already running approvals and change management in Teams.
Google Chat
Card messages · Webhooks
Posts a card message to a Google Chat space with interactive approval buttons. Supports callback verification via service account for tamper-proof responses.
AI Governance Broker
Tell the AI what your agent needs — it writes the policy
No more manual IAM policy crafting. Describe your agent's task in plain language — AgentVault8's AI analyses the intent, generates a least-privilege policy with exact scopes and TTL, creates a governance broker linked to a verified human sponsor in your IGA system, and returns the broker ID and a live cloud credential — all in under 2 seconds.
Describe the intent
Plain-language description of what the agent needs to do, which environment (production or non-production), and the human sponsor email.
AI mints the policy
The LLM extracts the cloud provider, exact IAM actions, resource ARNs, and derives a least-privilege TTL scoped to the task duration.
Sponsor validated
The human sponsor is verified in real time via your IGA platform (Saviynt, SailPoint, Entra ID) or HR system. Duplicate broker detection runs before provisioning.
Broker + credential ready
A governed broker identity and API key are returned alongside a short-lived cloud credential (AWS STS, GitHub token, etc.) ready for immediate use.

}Triggered when the intent contains production, prod, live, or prd. Enforces stricter TTL caps (max 900s), mandatory IGA verification before token issuance, and higher-fidelity risk scoring. Any broker for a production environment must have an IGA-verified human sponsor before credentials are released.
Triggered when the intent contains non-prod, staging, dev, uat, sandbox, or test. Allows longer TTLs (up to 3600s for batch jobs), email-based sponsor validation as a fallback when no IGA platform is connected, and approval channel routing via Slack, Teams, or Google Chat.
If no environment indicator is found in the intent, the AI sets intentValid: false and returns a denial asking the caller to specify the target environment explicitly. The intent is never silently assumed to be either.
Proxy Integrations
One vault. Every service your agents touch.
AgentVault8 sits between your AI agents and every downstream service they need to access. Register a target once — from that point, credentials are issued on demand, scoped per request, and never stored in agent code.
Cloud providers
Amazon Web Services
IAM · STS · AssumeRole
AgentVault8 calls AWS STS AssumeRole to issue short-lived session tokens scoped to the exact IAM policy generated for the broker. Supports cross-account roles, session tags, and fine-grained resource ARN conditions.
SupportedMicrosoft Azure
Entra ID · Managed Identity
Issues OAuth 2.0 access tokens for any Azure resource — Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, Azure OpenAI — via the Microsoft identity platform, scoped to the broker's registered application and assigned permissions.
SupportedGoogle Cloud Platform
IAM · Workload Identity
Generates short-lived GCP service account tokens using Workload Identity Federation. Supports Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Vertex AI and any GCP API that accepts access tokens.
SupportedSaaS & DevOps platforms
Salesforce
Connected App · OAuth 2.0
Issues Salesforce access tokens via the JWT Bearer OAuth flow using your Connected App credentials. Scope is locked to the exact Salesforce APIs declared in the broker policy — no over-privileged connected apps.
SupportedGitHub
GitHub App · Fine-grained tokens
Generates short-lived GitHub App installation tokens with repository-level permission granularity. Your agents get exactly contents:read or pull_requests:write — never a personal access token with org-wide scope.
SupportedSlack
OAuth 2.0 · Bot tokens
Issues scoped Slack bot tokens to agents on demand. Broker policies lock down exactly which scopes are permitted — agents can post messages or read channels without ever holding an org-wide token.
SupportedPagerDuty
REST API · User & Service tokens
Provisions time-limited PagerDuty API tokens scoped to specific services and escalation policies. Agents can trigger and resolve incidents without needing persistent API access.
SupportedMicrosoft Teams
Microsoft Graph · Bot Framework
Issues Azure AD access tokens scoped to Microsoft Graph on behalf of agents, enabling Teams messaging, channel management, and meeting operations without long-lived service credentials.
SupportedGoogle Workspace
OAuth 2.0 · Service Account · WIF
Mints short-lived Google OAuth tokens via service account domain delegation or Workload Identity Federation. Supports Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and any Workspace API with per-request scope enforcement.
SupportedMCP Server
Drop AgentVault8 into any agent builder as a native tool
AgentVault8 ships a fully compliant Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Add it as a tool source in your agent builder and your agents get governed credential access natively — with zero SDK changes and full IGA governance applied to every call.
LangChain / LangGraph
Add the AgentVault8 MCP server as a tool source. LangChain agents automatically discover and invoke credential tools before any step that needs a live secret.
SupportedClaude Desktop
Register the AgentVault8 MCP endpoint in your Claude Desktop config. Claude will request and revoke credentials on demand as it works through tasks.
SupportedOpenAI Agents SDK
AgentVault8 MCP tools surface as standard function-call schemas — drop in the endpoint and your OpenAI agent calls them like any other registered tool.
SupportedAny MCP-compatible builder
If your agent builder supports the Model Context Protocol, AgentVault8 works with it out of the box — no custom integration required.
SupportedWhat your agents can do
Request a credential
An agent declares the target service, required scope, and purpose. AgentVault8 runs all 8 security layers and returns a short-lived, scoped token.
Revoke when done
Agents explicitly revoke credentials once a task is complete — before the TTL expires. Every revocation is written to the immutable audit log.
Inspect active access
Agents can inspect which credentials they currently hold during a reasoning step — ensuring they never request access they already have in scope.
How governance is applied on every call
Agent requests credential access, declaring the target service, scope, and intent
AgentVault8 runs all 8 guardrail layers — rate limit, budget, content, replay, anomaly and more
Human sponsor is verified against your connected platform — Saviynt, SailPoint, or Entra ID
A scoped, time-bounded credential is returned — TTL is set by policy, never by the agent
Agent completes the task and explicitly revokes access
Full audit trail written — credential ID, scope, outcome, TTL, and revocation timestamp
JIT Credentials
Credentials that exist only when they need to
Just-in-time means a credential is minted at the moment of need, scoped to the declared task, and destroyed the moment that task ends — or sooner if the agent is flagged. Your agents never hold a long-lived secret.
Credential lifecycle
Request
The agent presents its broker API key and declares what it needs. All 8 security layers evaluate the request simultaneously — identity, scope, TTL, context, IGA membership, audit, redaction, and revocation status.
Mint
If all layers pass, a real short-lived credential is issued against the registered proxy target — an AWS STS token, Salesforce OAuth token, GitHub App installation token, or equivalent. The TTL is the minimum of the policy cap and the platform maximum.
Use
The credential is valid for its TTL window. Every use is logged against the token ID in the immutable audit trail. The agent calls the downstream service directly — AgentVault8 is not in the data path.
Expire or revoke
When the TTL expires the token is automatically invalidated at the provider. If the agent is compromised, the kill switch revokes all active tokens instantly — across every service and every region — with a single action.
Every token is
Scoped
Locked to the exact actions, resource ARNs, and APIs declared in the policy. Broader permissions are stripped before the credential is issued.
Time-bounded
A hard TTL cap set at the policy level. The global ceiling is 12 hours. Most task-specific tokens are 60–900 seconds.
Context-bound
Only valid from the sanctioned environment where the agent is deployed — verified VPC, region, or deployment tag. Cross-environment reuse is blocked.
Fully audited
Every issuance, use, denial, and revocation is written to the immutable audit log with request ID, broker ID, policy slug, TTL granted, and outcome.
Redacted
PII patterns in token metadata are automatically scrubbed before storage — emails, phone numbers, and card numbers never appear in plain text in the audit trail.
Audit & Compliance
Every action. Immutable. Provable.
AgentVault8 writes a tamper-proof record for every credential request, issuance, denial, and revocation — giving compliance teams, auditors, and IGA reviewers a single source of truth for all AI agent access activity.
What gets logged
Every credential issuance
Request timestamp, broker ID, policy slug, target service, scopes granted, TTL issued, and the requesting environment fingerprint are captured on every successful token mint.
Every denial & violation
When any of the 8 security layers rejects a request, the denial reason code, offending layer, and full request context are written to the audit trail — nothing is silently dropped.
Every revocation
Manual kill-switch actions, policy-triggered revocations, and automatic TTL expirations are all logged with the actor ID (human or system) and timestamp.
IGA provisioning events
Broker creation, sponsor validation outcomes, IGA platform responses, and non-human identity lifecycle events are recorded with the originating request ID for full lineage.
Compliance posture
Immutable log storage
Audit records are append-only and cryptographically chained — no admin, operator, or agent can alter or delete a past event. Meets requirements for NIST SP 800-53 AU controls and SOC 2 Type II logging.
PII redaction
Before any audit record is persisted, AgentVault8 scans metadata fields for PII patterns — email addresses, phone numbers, card numbers — and replaces them with hashed tokens. Raw PII never appears in the audit trail.
Access review readiness
Every broker has a human sponsor recorded in your IGA system. Periodic access certifications in Saviynt, SailPoint, or Entra ID automatically include AI agent identities and their active policy assignments.
SIEM & export
Audit logs are available via the AgentVault8 API in structured JSON format, compatible with Splunk, Elastic, Microsoft Sentinel, and any SIEM that accepts webhook or pull-based ingestion.
Identity attestation trail
Every issuance links back to the IGA attestation record for the broker — providing a continuous chain of custody from the original human-approved access request through to the final credential use.
Use Cases
Built for teams where AI agents touch real systems
Whether you're running a single deployment pipeline agent or a hundred autonomous agents across a multi-cloud enterprise, AgentVault8 provides the identity governance layer your security and compliance teams require.
Govern AI agents that touch financial data — without slowing them down
Banks, fintechs, and trading platforms run dozens of AI agents that read transaction records, query fraud detection APIs, and write to core banking systems. AgentVault8 ensures every agent has a scoped, time-limited credential, a verified human owner, and a full audit trail — satisfying SOX, PCI-DSS, and DORA requirements without adding operational overhead.
Fraud detection pipeline
An AI agent monitors card transactions in real time and calls a fraud scoring API. AgentVault8 issues a 30-second STS token scoped to dynamodb:GetItem on the transactions table only. The token expires automatically — no standing access.
Regulatory reporting agent
A LangChain agent generates monthly Basel III reports by querying the data warehouse. The governance broker is linked to the Chief Risk Officer as human sponsor — satisfying the 'accountable officer' requirement in compliance audits.
Trade reconciliation bot
An AutoGen agent reconciles end-of-day positions across three custodians. Access is restricted to read-only scopes on settlement accounts. Any anomaly triggers the kill switch, immediately revoking all active tokens across all services.
Relevant standards & tools
