network proxy

A network proxy is an intermediary server that receives requests from a client, forwards them to the destination server and returns the responses. Sitting in the middle, it can log traffic, restrict access or rewrite headers.

When AI agents run in isolated execution environments, a network proxy can intercept the agent's outbound requests and attach credentials, so that the model never directly sees secrets such as API keys.
