Bridge 1Password credentials to your AI agents
1Password can remain the system of record for API keys, OAuth client secrets, and service-account credentials while Gazebo acts as the agent-facing policy layer. This is useful when an agent should use one item but must not browse a shared engineering vault. Start with a dedicated 1Password service account and vault access limited to the items Gazebo must read; avoid using a human account token. Then map individual secrets to agent profiles so access is granted for a task rather than by broad vault membership.
Why bridge 1Password to AI agents through Gazebo?
A 1Password service account’s vault permissions remain the upstream capability boundary. If it can read every item in a vault, any compromise of that integration path has that blast radius, even though Gazebo can limit normal agent requests to selected mapped secrets. Use a dedicated vault or narrowly scoped service account where practical, monitor both systems, and distinguish access from use: Gazebo records the requesting agent and decision, while 1Password records vault-side activity. Removing a Gazebo profile blocks future brokering; rotate the underlying item and service-account token if either may have escaped.
How it works
- 1
Create a non-human 1Password service account with access only to the required vault or dedicated integration vault, and store its token securely.
- 2
Map exact items or fields to Gazebo profiles; avoid a broad profile that represents an entire vault simply because several agents need unrelated secrets.
- 3
An agent requests a mapped credential through MCP, and Gazebo checks its profile before retrieving the item from 1Password.
- 4
Review Gazebo decisions alongside 1Password activity records and the downstream provider’s logs. A retrieval does not establish that the downstream API was called.
- 5
Disable the agent profile to stop future requests. If a secret value or the 1Password service-account token is exposed, rotate it upstream and revalidate the remaining mappings.
Common use cases
Single source of truth for credentials
Keep ownership, rotation, and item metadata in 1Password, while agents receive only the mapped runtime secret through Gazebo. The Gazebo integration must still have upstream vault access, so use a dedicated service account and avoid treating agent-level policy as a replacement for careful vault design.
Audit AI access to 1Password secrets
Use Gazebo’s identity and decision record to answer which agent asked for an item, then use 1Password events to confirm the vault-side retrieval and downstream service logs to investigate use. During offboarding, remove the agent profile and rotate any item that could have been retained by its execution environment.
