credential-management oidc agent-tooling integrations secrets

Vercel Connect reaches general availability across all plans

Runtime token generation replaces stored secrets; OIDC-backed scoped access with 100+ preset connectors, audit logs, and MCP integration.

Summary

Eliminates credential sprawl in agent deployments. Tokens mint on-demand with automatic expiry and user-scoped identity, reducing blast radius of compromised secrets and simplifying compliance audits.
