Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”Your agent app needs two variables from the inbox (Agents → API keys) or intentlock keys create:
INTENTLOCK_URL=https://intentlock.acme.dev/api
INTENTLOCK_API_KEY=il_live_...An API key identifies one agent. Store it as a secret and create one key per environment (production, staging), so you can revoke one without touching the others.
- Agent guard if you want Intentlock to own the tool loop (recommended).
- Gates if you keep your own loop and call the gate yourself.
