The tool is installed in Claude Code with the command npx @basedagents/keyring init, and agents can register via npx basedagents register. BasedAgents said the product is aimed at preventing users from pasting credentials directly into an agent, with setup instructions and sandbox documentation available at basedagents.ai.", "body_md": "Sooner or later your AI asks you to paste a key so it can deploy, save, or publish for you. Don't.
