Show HN: PassControl – so your AI agents never hold your real API keys

Score: 5.7/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 3, Utility: 6)

PassControl provides a proxy layer that sits between AI agents and external APIs, so agents never directly hold real API keys. It enforces identity, scope, budget, and stop controls on each call, making agent-to-API interactions auditable and revocable, which is a useful security pattern for agentic systems.

Target audience: backend developers, devops, security engineers building AI agent systems
