Could you build this?
Partial A secrets manager CLI for agents is straightforward, but integrating hardware-backed Secure Enclave encryption via macOS Keychain APIs involves platform-specific cryptographic engineering.
What it would actually take: The tool uses macOS CryptoKit or Security framework in Swift/Rust to interface directly with the Apple Secure Enclave Processor (SEP) to generate and store non-exportable private keys. The hard part is managing the hardware attestation, biometric/ACL prompt bypasses for automated agent execution, and secure IPC over Unix domain sockets or MCP. This requires macOS native security engineering skills beyond standard web-app coding.
