HOW TO EMPOWER YOUR AI AGENT TO ACT...WITHOUT AN ACCESS TOKEN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

An AI agent doesn't simply run your code. It runs your code, plus whatever it finds in a “relevant” GitHub issue, support ticket, or scraped web page. What happens when you hand your agent an access token and someone opens a GitHub issue asking it to leak your credentials? Relay [5] keeps the credential at WorkOS. Your agent names the user, WorkOS attaches that token, refreshes it, and releases it only to allowlisted hosts. 🤔 It's essentially the same credential proxying system [6] that's been in use in payments for years: you can't leak something you never held in the first place.
