 "title": "Call a provider API with a stored key the agent never sees",
 "page_title": "How to call a provider API with a stored key the agent never sees with Open Keylet",
 "summary": "Have an agent send authenticated HTTP requests using a stored API credential.",
 "who": "A developer or account admin whose agent must list or change resources in a provider such as a DNS host.",
 "problem": "Agents need API keys to work with a provider, but keys pasted into chat leak into logs and context.",
 "outcome": "The agent completes the API task and reports results while the credential stays local to Open Keylet.",
 "steps": [
  "Download the portable build for your platform and open Open Keylet.",
  "Open Settings, then Agent connection, connect your detected client, and start a new agent session.",
  "Save an item such as DNS Provider with an API credential module and the service URL, which is saved as a default.",
  "Ask the agent to use that item name in Open Keylet MCP to run the API task.",
  "Check the agent output to confirm the request succeeded."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the OpenKeylet MCP server from omaekumiko2-create/OpenKeylet, use the item \"<item name>\" to list the domains in this account through the provider API. Return the list and the HTTP status. Verify that the API key does not appear in your response.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "A saved service URL is a default and relative-path base, not an Origin restriction, so the agent may call other destinations.",

 "lang": "rust",
 "requirements": [
  "A Windows, macOS or Linux machine to run the OpenKeylet desktop app",
  "An MCP-capable agent client such as Codex, Claude Code or Cursor",
  "The target server, website or API account and its credentials",
  "For browser filling on Chrome, Edge or Brave: one manual extension load on first use"
