Company lets cloud agents query production using OIDC

Original: We let our cloud agents query prod (with OIDC, not secrets)

Formal says it has given its cloud-based AI agents access to production infrastructure without storing any long-lived secrets, instead using OIDC federation to authenticate agent queries. The approach ties access to workload identity rather than credentials, letting agents query production systems safely. The post is drawing attention as engineers debate safe ways to grant autonomous agents real infrastructure access.

Why now: Teams are actively wrestling with how to give AI agents production access without leaking credentials.
