Alter
Alter provides a hosted credential-authorization platform that gives AI agents their own scoped identities and keys, replacing shared, over-scoped API keys. The platform enforces default-deny policies on every call, injects credentials without exposing them to agents, and maintains a tamper-evident audit trail across 140+ integrations. It supports human approvals for risky calls and real-time revocation via identity-provider webhooks.

Problem
AI agents often operate using shared, over-scoped API keys scattered across environment variables and configuration files, making it impossible to determine which agent performed which action or with whose authority. This creates security risks, compliance gaps, and operational blind spots for teams building agentic workflows.
Solution
Alter Vault provides a hosted credential-authorization platform that authenticates, authorizes, and logs every agent request across 140 integrations. Each agent receives its own scoped identity and grant, with default-deny policies evaluated on every call down to the parameter level. The platform sits in the request path, injecting credentials into outbound calls and returning provider responses, while maintaining a complete, tamper-evident audit trail. Approvals can be required for risky calls, and access can be revoked instantly via dashboard, CLI, or identity-provider webhooks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering and security teams building AI agent applications that need privileged access controls, auditability, and compliance evidence for enterprise review.
