Create and manage your agent access keys

Last updated

An agent access key lets an AI coding agent act in your account — but only within the permissions you give it. You can create as many as you like, review how they’re used, and switch any of them off instantly.

Create a key

  1. Go to Settings → API & Agents.
  2. Click Create key.
  3. Give it a clear name — use one key per agent or per use case (e.g. “Claude Code – support triage”).
  4. Choose its permissions — turn on only what this agent needs (see What your AI agent can and can’t do).
  5. Optionally set an expiry date.
  6. Click create.

Copy it once

The full key is shown only once, right after you create it. Copy it and store it somewhere safe, like a password manager. After that, the list shows only a masked preview (e.g. hE4fLv…QwGJw) — for security, the full value can’t be shown again. Lost it? Just revoke it and create a new one.

Review your keys

The keys list shows, for each key:

  • Name and a masked preview of the key
  • Permissions it was granted
  • Created date and Last used
  • Calls — how many successful actions the agent has run with it

Revoke a key

Click the menu on any key and choose Revoke. That instantly cuts off that agent — it can no longer act in your account. Revoking one key never affects your other keys or your own login.

Good practice

  • Grant the fewest permissions an agent needs.
  • Use one key per agent so you can revoke precisely.
  • Set an expiry for keys you’ll only need temporarily.
  • Revoke keys you no longer use.
