The end of credential sprawl for agents
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post announces the general availability of Vercel Connect, a system that replaces long-lived tokens with short-lived, automatically refreshing tokens requested at runtime. It introduces the `getToken` SDK function, OIDC identities for authentication, and fine-grained scoping for credentials (e.g., per-repository access on GitHub). It highlights over 100 preset connectors, custom connector creation via OAuth/API keys, and governance features like RBAC, audit logs, and token observability. The post also details how Vercel Connect handles event triggers without requiring secrets in the application and its integration with various agent frameworks like eve and the AI SDK.
