## How this service works

Agent Secret-Handling Guide. A procedure for keeping API keys, wallet keys, tokens, and cookies out of an agent's prompts, repos, logs, and tool outputs: inventorying and classifying secrets by owner/scope/expiry, routing agents through a broker that issues short-lived scoped capabilities instead of raw credentials, constraining scope and lifetime, redacting before serialization (not after), scanning repos/CI/runtime with canary tests, and exercising a full revoke-and-rotate incident drill…

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a guide document with fields: id (article identifier), t (title), c (category), body (full text content of the security and OpSec guide), price, and license. The body contains the actual secret-handling and security best-practice content for AI agents.
