Article

  • Kontext is a credential broker that intercepts agent credential requests and evaluates intent before issuing
  • Inspects agent reasoning trace to decide if the request matches authorized use
  • Self-serve, developer-focused, written in Go

Discussion

  • Security concern raised: if kontext runs as same user as Claude, agent could inspect its memory and extract keys
  • Compared to Tailscale Aperture and OneCLI as similar prior art
  • Positive reception for solving a real gap in agentic security
