Connections and credentials
Agents are only as useful as what they can reach - and only as safe as where their keys live. Two pages handle both: Connections and Credentials.

Why this matters
The fastest way to leak a secret is to let it ride along inside a model conversation. The vault exists so that agents can use a connection without ever seeing the key that powers it.
The walkthrough
Connections: one map of everything
The Connections page lists every tool, agent, and skill Cronus can reach - and lets you register your own. If an agent can use it, it is on this map; there is no invisible capability.
MCP: the USB of AI tools
Tool connections speak MCP, the open standard for wiring AI to outside services. Connect a tool once and any agent that needs it can reach it. The MCP page shows each server and whether it is on and reachable right now.
The Credentials vault
Keys and passwords go into the vault, encrypted on disk. Once saved, the value is never displayed again - not in the interface, not in logs, and never pasted into a prompt. If you need to rotate a key, you replace it; you never read it back.
The habit worth keeping
Give agents the narrowest access that does the job - the same way you would onboard a new employee. Grant thoughtfully, and let Tool Health confirm what is actually connected.
