Secrets out of the agent's reach

5 min read6 min readReviewed 26 October 2026

In short

An agent never needs to see a secret's value: tools read keys on the server side. Deny secret files, mask traces, scan before commit, and when a leak happens revoke the key first, then clean up.

After this lesson you can

  • Keep keys and secrets out of the agent's context and logs
  • Prepare scanning and rotation for when a secret leaks
