AgentValet Overview

AgentValet provides cryptographic identities and scoped, ephemeral credentials for AI agents to prevent credential inheritance risks. It acts as a proxy that verifies agent JWTs, enforces granular scopes, applies human approval gates, and logs all actions immutably. Use it when you need secure, auditable credential management and governance for AI agents interacting with multiple platforms.
