interesting project, what is the primary use-case for something like this? i'm still giving the agent access anyway or is it just scoped-access? i'm trying to understand how the short-lived nature of these keys can help
Thank you. Instead of giving the agent your real API key, it gets a scoped, short-lived capability (e.g. “can post 1 message to Slack channel X in the next 30s”).
The short-lived nature means that if the token is leaked or the agent goes rogue, the blast radius is tiny, you can instantly revoke/deny new mints, and you get full audit and policy control. It turns “here’s my permanent master key” into “here’s a disposable permit slip for just this action.”

Let me know if that makes sense.
