- 2026-06-27 / SKILLSCredential-free agents: inject secrets at an egress proxy so the sandbox never holds a tokenA 2026 hardening pattern keeps agents from ever possessing credentials: an LLM proxy or egress gateway outside the sandbox attaches real tokens at the network layer (some use temporary certs to decrypt and re-sign outbound HTTPS on the fly), so CLI tools inside the agent never see a live secret. Microsoft's Agent Governance Toolkit and NVIDIA's guidance converge on four mandatory isolation layers — network egress, filesystem boundaries, secrets scoping, and config-file protection. Pair this with short-lived, task-scoped credentials in a secrets manager rather than env vars to shrink the blast radius of prompt injection.
- 2026-06-25 / SKILLSRun agent sandboxes egress-deny-by-default with an API allowlist and runtime-injected short-lived credentialsBlock all outbound connections by default and whitelist only the specific API endpoints the agent needs, restrict DNS resolution to prevent discovery attacks, and segment agent networks from production. Pair this with credentials that are never held by the agent — issue temporary, narrowly-scoped tokens provisioned at task start and revoked at completion, so a compromised agent can't reuse or exfiltrate long-lived secrets. Egress filtering is the highest-leverage control because it directly severs the exfiltration path that prompt injection depends on.
