Keeper Security Secrets Manager API
Keeper Security Secrets Manager REST API and SDK for enterprise vault and secrets automation platform. Enables AI agents to manage vault record access and secrets retrieval automation, handle application token-based secrets injection into CI/CD and infrastructure, access Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) for zero-knowledge secrets management, retrieve role-based vault sharing and team policy management, manage service account credential lifecycle and rotation, handle PAM (Privileged Access Manager) privileged credential checkout workflows, access audit log and vault event data for compliance reporting, retrieve custom field and TOTP record management, manage Keeper Commander CLI automation scripting, and integrate vault data with SIEM, CI/CD, and DevOps platforms.

⚡ Reliability
Best When
An enterprise using Keeper Security wants AI agents to automate secrets injection in CI/CD, manage privileged credential checkout, audit vault access, and integrate with DevOps and compliance platforms.
Avoid When
SECURITY RISK: Keeper Secrets Manager application tokens with broad vault access should be scoped to minimum required secrets — token compromise exposes all accessible vault records. Automated privileged credential checkout without session monitoring can create unaudited access windows.
Use Cases
- • Injecting secrets into CI/CD pipelines from DevSecOps automation agents
- • Managing privileged credentials from PAM automation agents
- • Retrieving shared team vault records from infrastructure agents
- • Auditing vault access events from compliance reporting agents
Not For
- • Full PAM with session recording at enterprise scale without Keeper PAM module
- • Machine identity management at cloud-native Kubernetes scale
- • Consumer password manager features without team/enterprise vault management

Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ SECURITY RISK: Application token must be stored securely after one-time activation; if lost, new token must be generated — no recovery mechanism
- ⚠ Zero-knowledge architecture — all encryption/decryption happens client-side via SDK; raw REST API is lower-level; use SDK for proper zero-knowledge handling
- ⚠ One-time token activation — KSM application setup requires one-time token from admin; automation must handle initial activation workflow
- ⚠ SDK preferred over raw API — Keeper provides well-maintained SDKs with zero-knowledge encryption handling; direct REST requires implementing crypto
- ⚠ Secrets Manager vs PAM — Keeper PAM is a separate product for privileged session management; Secrets Manager is for CI/CD and DevOps injection
- ⚠ FedRAMP authorized — Keeper has FedRAMP Moderate authorization; useful for US government and regulated industry automation
