Hey everybody 🙋‍♂️

I’m Chris, a solo dev from Melbourne. For the past month I've been spending my after-work hours building AgentVisa, and to be honest, I'm both excited and nervous to be sharing it with you all today.

I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future of AI agents and the more I experimented, the more I realized I was building on a fragile foundation. It felt like we were all passing static API keys around like it was normal, creating this massive security hole that's just waiting to cause a problem. How do we build trust into these systems? How do we know what our agents are doing, and who gave them permission?

That's why I built AgentVisa. The idea is simple:

Stop giving agents a permanent "passport" (a static API key) and start giving them a temporary "work visa" for each specific task.

It’s a simple API that issues secure, short-lived credentials that link every agent action back to a specific user and a set of permissions.
This means you get a full audit trail, with credentials that expire in minutes, not months.
To make it easy to get started, I've built a Python SDK and there's a generous free tier with 5,000 API calls/month.

I'm here all day to answer your questions and would be so grateful for your feedback.

Cheers!
