Keycard

Founded 2025

Manage runtime authorization and short-lived credentials for AI agents

Pricing model

Free Tier, Paid

You can use Keycard to give your AI agents specific identities and secure access to resources based on dynamic policies. Instead of granting broad, permanent permissions or manually approving every action, Keycard evaluates each agent request at runtime. It checks the agent identity, user context, and target resource before issuing short-lived credentials. You can define security policies as code using Cedar, enforce them via SDKs, gateways, or proxies, and export complete audit trails directly to your SIEM or storage buckets.
