Aembit

Aembit is a Workload Identity and Access Management (Workload IAM) platform for non-human identities — AI agents, applications, microservices, CI/CD pipelines, scripts and service accounts. Instead of long-lived, hard-coded secrets, Aembit cryptographically attests a workload against a Trust Provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Kubernetes, Terraform Cloud, OIDC, SPIFFE, Kerberos), evaluates an Access Policy with optional conditional-access signals from CrowdStrike and Wiz, and injects a short-lived credential just-in-time so the application never stores one. The platform is delivered as a SaaS control plane (Aembit Cloud) plus a distributed enforcement layer (Aembit Edge — Agent Proxy, Agent Injector, AWS Lambda extension, CLI and Edge SDKs). Aembit publishes two OpenAPI 3.1.1 contracts — the Aembit Cloud API for managing every platform resource and the Aembit Edge API for workload authentication and credential retrieval — alongside a hosted, read-only MCP Server for querying audit, authorization and workload events, an MCP Identity Gateway and an MCP Authorization Server for governing AI-agent access to MCP servers.

Aembit publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Cloud API and Edge API. Tagged areas include Security, Identity, Access Management, Workload Identity, and Non-Human Identity.

The Aembit catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Aembit’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 33 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aembit: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    Discovery Integrations, Log Streams, Certificate Authorities, Routing, Agent Controllers, and the Audit Log, Authorization
    Event and Workload Event reporting surfaces. Authentication is a bearer API token issued from the Aembit Admin UI; the
    host is tenant-scoped.

    wrap, and the path applications use when they cannot run Agent Proxy.
