**After** OPENAI_API_KEY=__BLINDFOLD__ \ OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1 \ node my-agent.js

That's the entire change. (Or `wrap(new OpenAI())` if you prefer the in-process API — see [§Two integration styles](#two-integration-styles).) ## The attack, and why every other fix fails sequenceDiagram autonumber participant Agent as 🤖 Agent

The plaintext key exists only on one stack frame, inside the enclave, for the duration of one call.

**Full architecture** — 11 diagrams (context, components, all three secret paths, signup, attestation, trust boundaries, ledger, lifecycle): [`system_design.md`](system_design.md). Original writeup: [`docs/03-architecture.md`](docs/03-architecture.md). ## How Terminal 3 is used here Blindfold is a **thin shell** around a small set of Terminal 3 primitives. Nothing in T3 is bent or extended — Blindfold just composes the existing pieces. Concretely: ### 1. A small Rust → WASM contract that runs inside the TDX enclave `contract/wit/world.wit` declares the **only four capabilities** the contract is allowed to use — the principle of least privilege, enforced by T3 at load time: world blindfold-proxy { import host:tenant/tenant-context@1.0.0; // know which tenant's secrets to read import host:interfaces/logging@2.1.0; // structured logging (no secret values) import host:interfaces/kv-store@2.1.0; // read the developer's API key import host:interfaces/http@2.1.0; // make the outbound call from in-enclave export contracts; } No file-system, no signing, no inbox, no extra HTTP variants — only what's needed. If the contract were ever compromised, this is the blast radius. ### 2. The developer's API key is **sealed** into the tenant's secrets map (one-time) `packages/blindfold/src/register.ts` performs **the one and only** control-plane write Blindfold ever makes that touches a plaintext value: await tenant.executeControl("map-entry-set", { map_name: tenant.canonicalName("secrets"), // → z::secrets key: "openai_api_key", value: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY!, // ⚠️ ONLY line in repo that touches plaintext }); After this returns, the local binding is dropped. From here on, the value lives at `z::secrets` inside the enclave's encrypted KV — only decryptable from inside an **attested** TDX node. ### 3. At runtime, the contract reads the secret **inside the enclave** and substitutes `contract/src/forward.rs` (the only place plaintext ever materialises again, and only briefly, in TDX memory): let api_key = read_secret(&input.secret_key)?; // KV read inside TDX let substituted = input.headers.into_iter() .map(|(k, v)| (k, v.replace("__BLINDFOLD__", &api_key))) // sentinel → real value .collect(); http::call(&http::Request { method, url, headers: Some(substituted), payload }) // outbound The sentinel `__BLINDFOLD__` is what the agent (and Blindfold's local proxy) actually send. The substitution happens **after** the request has crossed into the enclave — never on the developer's machine, never in the wrapper's process. ### 4. The agent invokes the contract via T3's signed RPC `packages/blindfold/src/t3-client.ts` calls `executeAndDecode` on every proxied API request: await tenant.executeAndDecode({ script_name: `z:${tidHex}:blindfold-proxy`, script_version: 1, function_name: "forward", input: { method, url, headers, body, secret_key: "openai_api_key" }, }); Auth is handled by T3's Ethereum-style signing (`T3N_API_KEY` is a secp256k1 private key whose tenant DID is `did:t3n:`). ### 5. Two T3-level safety nets - **Egress allowlist** — the tenant's grant defines which hosts the contract may call (`api.openai.com`, etc.). An attacker who somehow tampered with the URL field would hit `host/http.egress_denied` at the T3 boundary. - **TDX attestation** — the contract's WASM is content-addressed and runs only on T3 nodes that produce a valid Intel TDX attestation. The host operator can't peek at the secrets map at rest or in use. ### What Blindfold deliberately does NOT use T3 also offers [`http-with-placeholders`](https://docs.terminal3.io/developers/adk/tips/placeholders-outbound-calls) with `{{profile.}}` markers — but that primitive is for *end-user PII delegated by a separate user*, not for a developer's own API key. For Blindfold's "protect-the-API-key" use case, the **secrets-map + `http`** path is the right primitive. (We may add `http-with-placeholders` later for end-user data flowing through agents.) A line-by-line analysis of the T3 surface (with verbatim quotes from the live docs and 6 items flagged `NEEDS VERIFICATION`) is in [`docs/02-terminal3-analysis.md`](docs/02-terminal3-analysis.md). ## Proof of blindness — the side-by-side demo git clone https://github.com/FiscalMindset/Blindfold.git blindfold cd blindfold ./scripts/one-time-setup.sh # npm install + build contract npm run demo # ← the money shot What happens: two agents — same model, same task, same prompt-injection attack — run back to back. The runner asserts that A leaks and B doesn't, and exits non-zero if either assertion fails.

## Two integration styles ### Option A — base-URL swap (zero code change) # was: OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-real-… node my-agent.js OPENAI_API_KEY=__BLINDFOLD__ OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1 node my-agent.js Works with any OpenAI-compatible client (`openai-node`, `@openai/sdk`, LangChain's `ChatOpenAI`, LlamaIndex, …). Most providers' SDKs honour a `*_BASE_URL` env var. ### Option B — one-line `wrap()` import OpenAI from "openai"; import { wrap } from "blindfold"; const openai = wrap(new OpenAI()); // 👈 the one line const r = await openai.chat.completions.create({ /* … */ }); Useful when you can't easily set environment variables (e.g. inside a managed runtime). ## Supported integrations Blindfold isn't just an LLM-key proxy. The enclave applies each provider's **real** auth scheme — including ones a generic "swap the token" proxy structurally cannot do, because the secret is *consumed by a computation* (Basic-auth base64, AWS SigV4 signing) inside TDX rather than pasted into a header. | Provider | Industry | Auth scheme (computed in-enclave) | |---|---|---| | OpenAI · Anthropic · xAI · Groq | LLM | Bearer | | **Google Gemini** | LLM | Bearer via `x-goog-api-key` (not `Authorization`) | | **Stripe** | Payments | Bearer | | **GitHub** | Dev infra | Bearer | | **SendGrid** | Email | Bearer | | **Slack** | Comms | Bearer | | **Twilio** | Telephony | **HTTP Basic** — `base64(SID:secret)` built in the enclave | | **AWS S3 · SES** | Cloud | **SigV4** — the secret *signs* the request; it's never transmitted | 12 providers across 6 industries and 3 auth schemes. The AWS SigV4 signing is verified against AWS's published test vectors. Live end-to-end demos: [`examples/gemini/`](examples/gemini/), [`examples/stripe/`](examples/stripe/), [`examples/prompt-injection/`](examples/prompt-injection/). Full architecture and impact writeup: [`integration-stack.md`](integration-stack.md). ## 💸 Cost — when to use the enclave (and when not to) Every time a key is *used*, it's a metered Terminal 3 enclave operation — a real (tiny) cost, unlike reading a plaintext env var. That's the trade-off of confidential compute: an `env` var is free but leakable; an enclave-substituted key costs a fraction but **can't leak**. **How small?** Measured live: **~20 tokens per operation** (a `use`/release or a proxy forward). The self-serve `signup` grant (~20,000 tokens) is roughly **1,000 secret-uses**, free, on testnet. Whether that's cheap depends on **frequency × value**: | Key | Fit | |---|---| | Deploy tokens, Stripe/payment keys, admin creds, keys handed to **autonomous agents** — used occasionally, catastrophic if leaked | ✅ **Ideal** — the cost is a rounding error next to a breach | | A key hit **thousands of times a second**, low value per call | ⚠️ Per-call enclave cost adds up — use the pattern below | **Three levers to keep it cheap:** 1. **Release once, reuse.** `release()` hands the plaintext to *your* process — cache it for a burst/session and pay **one op for N calls** instead of N ops. *(Trade-off: the key sits in your memory for that window — your choice, per workload.)* 2. **Seal selectively.** Only route the keys that would hurt if leaked through the enclave; leave low-value, high-frequency traffic alone. 3. **Proxy where it matters.** The per-call proxy gives the strongest guarantee — spend the ~20 tokens where the guarantee is worth it, and release-and-reuse where volume dominates. **Bottom line:** for the high-value secrets Blindfold is built for — the ones you hand to AI agents — ~20 tokens per use is trivial insurance against a leak that could cost thousands. It's not meant to wrap every low-value call at massive scale; for that, release-and-reuse collapses the cost. And on testnet, you build for free. ## CLI at a glance blindfold doctor # is my key/tenant healthy?

The agent will: - **Never ask you to paste a key into chat** — it proposes `blindfold register --name ` for you to run in your own terminal. - **Write code using the release-broker pattern** instead of `process.env.PROVIDER_API_KEY`. - **Verify by fingerprint** (`blindfold sealed`, `env:fingerprint`) — never by reading plaintext. - **Auto-trigger** when you mention sealing a key, paste a credential, ask "how do I protect my API key", or work with `.env` secrets. ### Install the skill **One command** (from inside the Blindfold repo): blindfold skill install # this project (Claude Code auto-discovers it) blindfold skill install --global # every Claude Code session on your machine blindfold skill install --cursor # Cursor (.cursor/rules/) blindfold skill install --opencode # OpenCode (.opencode/skills/) blindfold skill install --cline # Cline (.cline/rules/) blindfold skill install --all # all of the above at once **If you cloned this repo** — it already works. Claude Code auto-discovers `.claude/skills/blindfold/SKILL.md`. Nothing to install. **Without cloning** (curl one-liner for any project): mkdir -p .claude/skills/blindfold curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FiscalMindset/Blindfold/main/.claude/skills/blindfold/SKILL.md \ -o .claude/skills/blindfold/SKILL.md **npx** (from any directory, no clone needed): blindfold skill install # current project blindfold skill install --global # global ### How it works Once installed, just talk to your agent — the skill activates automatically: > "seal my Stripe key" → agent proposes terminal command, never asks for the value > "how do I protect my API key" → walks you through blindfold register > "write code that calls OpenAI" → generates release-broker pattern, not process.env > "what's in my .env?" → runs env:fingerprint, never reads .env directly The skill file is self-contained and references only files in this repo. Full details in the **[Usage Guide §4a](usage.md#4a-load-blindfold-as-an-agent-skill-claude-code--opencode--any-skill-aware-agent)**. ## Recipes & runnable examples The exact one-line snippet for the stack you use: | Stack | Recipe | Runnable example | |---|---|---| | OpenAI SDK · Node | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md#openai-sdk--nodejs-the-official-openai-package) | [`examples/openai-node-quickstart/`](examples/openai-node-quickstart/) | | OpenAI SDK · Python | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md#openai-sdk--python-the-official-openai-package-v1) | [`examples/openai-python-quickstart/`](examples/openai-python-quickstart/) | | LangChain · Node / Python | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md#langchain-node-or-python) | [`examples/langchain-summarizer/`](examples/langchain-summarizer/) | | AutoGen | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md#autogen-microsoft) | — | | Anthropic SDK | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md#anthropic-sdk) | [`examples/anthropic-quickstart/`](examples/anthropic-quickstart/) | | LlamaIndex | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md#llamaindex-node-or-python) | — | | “My framework hides the HTTP client” | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md#the-my-framework-hides-the-http-client-escape-hatch) | — | Each runnable example is ~20 lines. The pattern is always the same: set the base URL to `http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1`, set the API key to `__BLINDFOLD__`, ship it. ## Quickstart npm install npm run setup That's it. `npm run setup` runs the interactive bootstrap: 1. **Preflight** — if `.env` doesn't have your T3 credentials yet, the wizard prints the [T3 claim page URL](https://docs.terminal3.io/developers/adk/get-started/prerequisites/request-test-tokens), waits for you to paste the values, validates them, writes the file. 2. **Build the contract** — `cargo build` if you have Rust; auto-skips with a friendly note if you don't. 3. **Authenticate to T3** — real handshake against testnet. 4. **Publish the contract** to your tenant. 5. **Seal a secret** if you passed `--seed`. To seed your OpenAI key + auto-launch the proxy as part of the same flow: # Put OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... in .env temporarily, then: npm run setup -- --seed openai_api_key:OPENAI_API_KEY --start # DELETE OPENAI_API_KEY from .env after. The plaintext never goes anywhere else. You can also use the lower-level commands directly:

Step-by-step (advanced)

./scripts/one-time-setup.sh # → installs node deps, builds the Rust contract (needs rustup), copies .env.example to .env

2. Provide your T3 credentials

Edit `.env`: T3N_API_KEY=0x… # secp256k1 hex private key from terminal3.io DID=did:t3n:… # your tenant DID If you skip this, Blindfold runs in **MOCK** mode — useful for the demo, not for production.

3. Publish the wrapper contract (real mode only)

blindfold publish # → registers contract/target/wasm32-wasip2/release/blindfold_proxy.wasm with your tenant

4. Seal your real API key inside the enclave

Three input modes, in order of preference: # (a) Interactive — value never touches disk or shell history. Preferred. blindfold register --name openai_api_key # Value for "openai_api_key" (input is hidden): ●●●●●●●●●● ↵ # ✓ Registered "openai_api_key" — value lives only in the enclave. # (b) Piped — for scripts. Same on-disk-free property. echo "$OPENAI_API_KEY" | blindfold register --name openai_api_key # (c) From an env var you already have (e.g. set by a vault tool). blindfold register --name openai_api_key --from-env OPENAI_API_KEY Mode (a) is the friendliest: no `.env` edit, no leftover line to delete. Use (c) only when the value is *already* in env for another reason — then this is just a transfer.

5. Run the proxy and point your agent at it

blindfold proxy --port 8787 # In another shell: OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1 OPENAI_API_KEY=__BLINDFOLD__ node my-agent.js

Verified: `use --as GH_TOKEN -- gh api user` → authenticated as the token owner. | | Build the Rust→WASM contract locally | ✅ works | uses T3's **canonical** host WITs (delivered 2026-06-25) — see [`contract/wit/deps/README.md`](contract/wit/deps/README.md) | | Publish the contract via `tenant.contracts.register` | ✅ **verified live** | currently at v0.5.3, contract_id 458 on the active tenant (`did:t3n:58f…80b49`) — bumps every time the contract source changes | | Tenant scaffolding — `secrets` + `authorised-hosts` maps | ✅ **verified live + auto-wired into `init`** | `tenant.maps.create({ tail, visibility:"private", writers:"all" })` idempotent | | ACL grant to the contract (`tenant.maps.update`) | ✅ **verified live + auto-wired into `init`** | `{ readers: { only: [] } }` — applied to both maps after publish | | **Egress authorization** — `t3n.execute({ script_name:"tee:user/contracts", function_name:"agent-auth-update", … })` | ✅ **verified live** | Accepted with real tx_hash (e.g. `tx:302:54024`) on the tenant. Per-(agent, contract, function, host) scope; `versionReq:">=0.5.0"`, `allowedHosts:["api.x.ai"]`. Discovered via T3 team feedback — was the previously-mysterious 500 vector. | | **In-enclave secret read + sentinel substitution** (the Blindfold security property) | ✅ **verified live end-to-end** | Contract reads the sealed secret in TDX, substitutes `__BLINDFOLD__` → `` in `Authorization`, returns *lengths only* as proof (never the value). 19-byte test secret → 26-char `Authorization`. Math checks. | | Sealed-keys ledger (`blindfold sealed`) | ✅ **verified live** | Records every seal as a metadata-only JSONL line (name, byte-length, source, mode, tenant DID, full map name) — *never the value*. e.g. `github_token` (93 B, `real`) on the active tenant; earlier real seals (`deepgram_api_key`, `cognee_api_key`, `paypal`) on a prior tenant. | | **Release-broker** — sealed secret → released to local broker → real outbound call → drop | ✅ **verified live, repeatedly** | `scripts/smtp-with-blindfold.ts` sends real Gmail emails via the released SMTP password. `examples/grok-via-blindfold.ts` authenticates against real xAI endpoints with the released Grok key. `scripts/test-v5-release.ts` verifies any sealed key by fingerprint (verified the cognee 64B key matches `efa…bc`). Agent's process never has the value. | | **In-enclave `http::call` from the contract itself** (the "secret never leaves the enclave" mode) | ✅ **VERIFIED LIVE 2026-06-28** | `forward()` now substitutes the sealed secret and makes the outbound HTTPS call **inside the TDX enclave**. Proven end-to-end: contract → `https://api.github.com/user` returned `code=200`, GitHub authenticated as the token owner — the plaintext token never reached the local machine. Repro: `npx tsx scripts/test-enclave-egress.ts ` (publishes, grants secrets-ACL + egress, runs a dry-run then the real call). | **The "verify" command** does a real handshake + authenticate round-trip and reports success. Try it: blindfold verify # 🛡️ Blindfold — verify # · mode: REAL · T3 env: testnet # ✓ REAL T3 round-trip succeeded. ## Dashboard & telemetry Every forwarded request appends a metadata line to `.blindfold/usage.jsonl`. The line contains the provider, path, method, status, latency, whether the agent supplied any auth header, and whether the Blindfold sentinel was actually placed in the outbound headers. **It never contains request bodies, response bodies, or header values** — by construction, those are not passed to the logger. blindfold proxy # in one terminal npm run dashboard # in another → opens http://127.0.0.1:8799 blindfold stats # quick CLI summary blindfold stats:clear # wipe the log The dashboard shows live counters (by provider, success rate, average latency, sentinel-substitution count) and the most recent 50 events, auto-refreshing every 2 seconds. flowchart LR classDef bf fill:#efe,stroke:#3a3,color:#060 classDef file fill:#eef,stroke:#33c,color:#003 classDef ui fill:#fef,stroke:#a3a,color:#606 Agent[🤖 Agent] --> Proxy[Blindfold Proxy]:::bf Proxy -- "metadata only

Nothing in that file ever gets overwritten — every run becomes a row in the history. ## Where the key could leak — and why it can't A security-auditor walkthrough. Every plausible leak vector is listed; if any answer were "yes", it would be a bug to fix, not ship. | Question | Answer in Blindfold | |---|---| | Does the CLI print the key? | No. `register.ts` reads `process.env[name]` and passes it as the `value` field of one `executeControl` call. Never logs the value, only the *name*. | | Does the proxy ever see the key? | No. The proxy receives the agent's request, whose `Authorization` is the sentinel. It forwards a JSON description of that request to the contract. No secret. | | Does the contract leak the key in its response? | No. The contract strips `Authorization`, `Set-Cookie`, `X-API-Key`, `Cookie`, `Proxy-Authorization` from the upstream response before returning. | | Could a malicious proxy request trick it into reading the key? | The proxy has no read path for the secrets map. Its only KV operation, in a separate process (`register.ts`), is a *write*. There is no `get_secret`. | | Could logs accidentally capture the key? | All logging goes through `safeLog`, which scrubs any header named `authorization`, `proxy-authorization`, `x-api-key`, `cookie`, `set-cookie`. CI can grep for `Bearer ` in source as a backstop. | | Could the host operator read the secrets map? | That's exactly the trust assumption Intel TDX + T3's attestation flow address. T3 nodes prove enclave integrity; the OS, hypervisor, and node operator cannot inspect TDX memory. Out of Blindfold's scope but verifiable independently. | Read `packages/blindfold/src/register.ts` and `packages/blindfold/src/proxy.ts` end-to-end.

For full enclave-backed protection: 1. Install Rust + the `wasm32-wasip2` target: `rustup target add wasm32-wasip2`. 2. `npm i @terminal3/t3n-sdk` (it's listed as `optionalDependencies`). 3. Set `T3N_API_KEY` and `DID` in `.env`. Run `blindfold doctor` to confirm `REAL` mode. 4. Run the full one-time flow in [§Quickstart](#quickstart) steps 3-5. Open issues we'd love a real T3 engineer to confirm are in [`docs/02-terminal3-analysis.md` §7 — NEEDS VERIFICATION](docs/02-terminal3-analysis.md). ## Status **Beta — published on npm** as [`@fiscalmindset/blindfold`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fiscalmindset/blindfold) (v0.4). The full pipeline is verified live end-to-end against Terminal 3 testnet — seal, proxy substitution, in-enclave egress, and self-serve `signup`. Tenants run on **testnet** today (no production SLA yet), so treat it as beta rather than a production secret store. Roadmap items (streaming, richer policy CLI, production tenants) are in [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). ## Living docs | File | What it is | |---|---| | [`explain.md`](explain.md) | Single source of truth: status table, open questions, running log. **Updated after every change.** | | [`docs/01-problem-analysis.md`](docs/01-problem-analysis.md) | First-principles: why agents leak; why existing fixes fail | | [`docs/02-terminal3-analysis.md`](docs/02-terminal3-analysis.md) | What T3 surface Blindfold uses (with NEEDS VERIFICATION flags) | | [`docs/03-architecture.md`](docs/03-architecture.md) | Architecture, file tree, dev experience, leak-audit table | | [`docs/04-usage.md`](docs/04-usage.md) | One-line adoption recipes for OpenAI / LangChain / AutoGen / Anthropic / LlamaIndex | | [`docs/05-compatibility.md`](docs/05-compatibility.md) | Which agent CLIs Blindfold protects (Claude Code, OpenCode, Aider, Cursor, …) + the two-property test | | [`docs/AGENTS.md`](docs/AGENTS.md) | Onboarding for any future coding agent working on this repo | | [`vicky.md`](vicky.md) | Plain-English Q&A for new users — add your own questions there | ## License MIT — do what you want; if it helps you, tell us. ## About the team

Vicky Kumar @FiscalMindset	👋 Vicky Kumar — Lead Developer Building AI products and real-world systems.   Blindfold was built for the Terminal 3 hackathon as a small wager: that the most useful security tools are the ones a developer can adopt by changing a single line. If you're working on agent infrastructure, confidential compute, or anywhere the two overlap — say hi.
