Credential saved to the vault

• ZILLIZ_API_KEY

  ZILLIZ_API_KEY is a opaque api_key validated at 10 to 64 characters.

Use it without revealing the provider key

In the Vault, first make api.cloud.zilliz.comthe credential's primary allowed host. Then ask your agent to call grant_app_access. It returns a host-scoped egress base URL and a revocable token; the backend uses those values to list the cloud providers available to Zilliz Cloud.

// One-time Vault policy: make api.cloud.zilliz.com
// the primary allowed host. Off-allowlist requests are refused.

// Then ask your agent to create a scoped grant:
grant_app_access({
  service: "zilliz",
  rate_limit_per_hour: 100
})

// Inject the returned fields from backend-only secret storage:
// SQUIRE_EGRESS_BASE_URL=<returned base_url>
// SQUIRE_EGRESS_TOKEN=<returned token>

const response = await fetch(
  `${process.env.SQUIRE_EGRESS_BASE_URL}/v2/clouds`,
  {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SQUIRE_EGRESS_TOKEN}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
  },
);

if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Zilliz Cloud returned ${response.status}`);
const clouds = await response.json();
