OpenServ provides a secure approach to handling sensitive information required for AI agents to connect with third-party services. The platform implements a secret management system that gives users control over their sensitive information while allowing developers to build integrated agents.
OpenServ provides a dedicated interface where users can enter secrets, such as API keys or passwords.
This interface serves as the central point for managing sensitive information that agents may need to function properly.
This allows agents to use these secrets for their intended purposes, such as:
Connecting to third-party services
Authenticating with external APIs
Accessing user-specific resources
This focus on user control creates a more secure environment compared to alternatives:

The secret management system serves as a foundation for building integrations:
By providing a structured approach to handling authentication and other sensitive information, the system facilitates connections to external services in a secure manner.
