Could you build this?
Partial A local password helper CLI or daemon is easy to vibe-code, but secure credential isolation, interaction with macOS Keychain APIs, and safe IPC permissions for autonomous agents require serious security engineering.
What it would actually take: Likely written in Swift or Rust, hooking into macOS `Security.framework` and `LocalAuthentication` for Touch ID verification. The difficult problem is designing a secure privilege-separation architecture and granular tokenized IPC mechanism that allows AI agent processes access to designated secrets without opening arbitrary exfiltration vulnerabilities to prompt injection.
