SAL Protocol introduces short-lived, scoped tokens for safer AI agents
The SAL protocol uses short-lived, scoped, challenge-based service tokens to limit blast radius if credentials leak. Tokens have narrow permissions and TTLs as low as 300 seconds, reducing exposure. The approach is implemented in the open-source Vibebase reference server.

Practical security pattern that addresses a real agent risk, but adoption depends on ecosystem buy-in beyond the reference implementation.
