Credential Brokering

Credential brokering keeps real tokens and private keys on the host side, then lets the sandbox request narrow actions through a trusted path. The sandbox gets the result of an approved action, not broad access to the credential itself.

The research separates this from simple secret injection. If a token is copied into the guest, a compromised agent can read it. Brokered designs such as Gondolin, Agentcage, and parts of Vercel Sandbox point toward a safer model for long-lived credentials.
