alt Hacker NewsIt seems like OP needs to provide a solution to hiding the credentials from the model in order to suggest CLI-mode only, and also a solution to the problem of agents without shell access.

I've been thinking about this. Technically mcp auth is also not secure, the keys are in env or in file and accessible to the agent.
I think something like infiscial ai proxy could be useful here. Never store the creds on device.

In coop [0], a VM manager we developped to sandbox agent usage (i.e. give them freedom to do their stuff, but in an isolated environment from your main machine), we try to solve this by having an intermediate proxy (coop-proxy).
Instead of forwarding ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY into the guest, we simply run a reverse-proxy within the VM that replace a constant-time token with the real API key on the host.
Works well enough in practice
