Alter Vault is an authorization layer for applications and AI agents that need to call third-party APIs without handing every agent a long-lived shared secret. The decision is whether a team needs per-agent identity, scoped credentials, policy checks, human approvals, and a usable audit trail—not merely another secret store.

## What it does

Alter says it stores credentials once, injects them only for an authorized request, evaluates policy, and records the call. Its public product includes agent identity, parameter-level policy, OAuth and API-key connections, human-in-the-loop approvals, MCP and AWS integrations, and a catalogue of 137 provider integrations ([Alter homepage](https://alterauth.com/); [Alter docs](https://docs.alterauth.com/)).
