# About Gazebo

Every AI coding tool, automation, and agent framework asks for the same thing: your API keys. Stripe secret key, GitHub token, Cloudflare credentials — pasted into a `.env` file, shared across every tool you run, with no way to know what any of them actually touched.

That's the access model most infrastructure had before IAM existed. Cloud providers fixed it for humans and services years ago. Agents never got the same treatment.

Gazebo is IAM for AI agents. Every agent gets scoped credentials — not your master key. Every privileged action requires approval before it runs. Every access is logged, so if something goes wrong, you know exactly which agent did what, when.

## What we believe

- **Least privilege by default** — agents get access to exactly what they need, nothing more.
- **Approval before execution** — nothing touches a real API until a human signs off.
- **One audit trail** — every credential access, from every agent, in one place.
