`Agent Vault`: open-source credential proxy/vault for agents

Secret handling is moving out of the agent and into a proxy layer. If you ship agents that call external tools, this pattern is practical now and worth copying.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. It tackles credential exfiltration directly: the agent calls a proxy, and the proxy attaches secrets so the model never sees raw credentials.
  2. The integration path is lightweight: set HTTPS_PROXY and keep existing APIs, CLIs, SDKs, and MCP-based flows mostly unchanged.
  3. A full deployment still needs forced outbound routing. If agents can bypass the proxy, the security model breaks immediately.
  4. The bigger signal is product shape, not just one repo: credential brokering is becoming a standard building block for agent runtimes.
