## What it is
Agent Vault is an open-source HTTP credential proxy and vault by Infisical that sits between AI agents and the APIs they call. It stores credentials server-side and injects them into outbound HTTP requests via an MITM proxy, so agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and custom harnesses never hold real secrets.

## Use cases
- prevent AI agents from leaking API keys via prompt injection
- let Claude Code call Anthropic and GitHub without holding credentials
- run coding agents in sandboxes with brokered API access
- route custom agent harness HTTP traffic through a credential-injecting proxy
- back agent credentials with an external secrets store like Infisical
- secure ephemeral CI or VPS agent environments against credential exfiltration

## When to choose
- you run AI agents that make outbound API calls and worry about prompt-injection-driven secret theft
- you want agents to use dummy credentials while a proxy swaps in real ones
- you need a self-hosted, single-binary vault plus MITM proxy for agent workloads

## When to avoid
- you only need traditional secrets management for human-operated services without agents
- your traffic cannot be routed through an HTTPS proxy or MITM architecture
- you need a fully managed SaaS solution rather than self-hosting
