Security

Baseline

The README documents no committed secrets, environment-variable configuration and automated security audits in CI.

API controls

Documented controls include:

• JWT authentication
• Role-based authorization
• Helmet security headers
• Configurable CORS
• Input validation
• Global exception handling
• Scoped API keys for automation
• Audit logging

Automation

Use the following boundary for automated agents:

AI agent
 ↓
Scoped API key
 ↓
Specific webhook scope
 ↓
Audited action

For high-risk automation, add human approval, confidence gates, sandbox/dry-run capability, idempotency, rate limits and a kill switch.

Secret handling

Never commit .env files, database passwords, API keys, JWT secrets, cloud credentials, refresh tokens or webhook secrets.

Incident response

1. Revoke compromised credentials.
2. Disable the affected bot/agent.
3. Review webhook and audit logs.
4. Rotate dependent secrets.
5. Identify affected resources.
6. Restore a known-good deployment if required.
7. Document the incident and preventive action.
