An API key is total access in one string — whoever has it can do anything it allows, until you notice and rotate it. That's what we often hand AI agents today.
Fort Card treats your keys like credit cards. The real key is sealed in your lockbox — a Worker on your Cloudflare that holds your master key and is the only thing that ever touches plaintext. Agents get a card: scoped to one host, capped to N uses, freezable with one call. When the card is charged, the lockbox injects the real key server-side and returns only the response — the agent gets the result, not the key.
