Building modern API tools with security at the core
KeyRunner exists because API tooling should not force teams to choose between speed and control. We are building products that keep workflows sharp while treating secrets, execution, and trust as first-class concerns.
Why we built KeyRunner
We are building for teams that want better API tooling without accepting weak secret handling, unnecessary cloud dependence, or security bolted on after the fact.
Why we started
KeyRunner started from a simple frustration: API teams were being asked to move faster while handling more secrets, more environments, and more risk than ever before.
What we saw
Most tools optimized for convenience first. Security was usually layered on later, which meant developers inherited cloud exposure, weak boundaries, and too much operational guesswork.
What we believe
Security should not feel like a bolt-on. It should be part of the product model itself: where requests run, where secrets live, who can execute what, and how teams can verify behavior.
What we are building
We are building local-first API tooling and runtime controls that let teams move quickly without giving up visibility, governance, or developer ergonomics.
Give agents capability. Not credentials.
Start with the free API client for developers. Add policy enforcement, credential isolation, and audit trails when your agentic workflows need enterprise-grade governance.
Credentials are injected at runtime, inside your infrastructure. Agents invoke named actions — nothing more.
