Aembit agent identity review
Short-lived credentials and delegated MCP access
Agent discovery 6.0 / Per-action policy 8.5 / Agent credentials 9.0
General purpose score 7.53 joint
Where it falls short
- A human approval step was not verified in the documentation reviewed.
- Wide enterprise agent discovery is not the central gateway workflow.
Documented strengths
- Workload identities and blended human-agent context identify the caller.
- Identity Gateway checks access policies for MCP interactions and tool use.
- Per-request exchange supplies scoped, short-lived credentials without exposing backend secrets to the agent.
