Then we dive into the topics, using these slides: https://aisocratic.org/slides/1?deck=a91c101b-86e7-4035-9f47-8a21cf9f6a03 — experts on the current topics are encouraged to share their knowledge with the room. StackOverflow Live In this session, you can bring up a problem, an architecture challenge, which requirements are necessary to train a model, fine tuning experience, simply show off a clever engineering solution, or bring up a philosophical question. Each question is voted and collectively we decide which 2-3 questions to discuss. The goal is to learn new skills. Sponsors Frontier Tower — 16 floors. Countless founders. One constitution, written from the inside. AI, crypto, biotech, robotics, neurotech, longevity. We'll be on the 16th floor!

Keycard Workshop @ AI Engineer World's Fair

111 Minna Gallery and Event Space — Yerba Buena

Your agents are reaching for real tools and real data. The risk isn't the capable agent, it's the standing secret it holds.

Your agents are reaching for real tools and real data. The risk isn't the capable agent, it's the standing secret it holds. One long-lived API key sitting in an agent's environment is one prompt injection or Shai-Hulud away from being read out. At AI Engineer World's Fair, Keycard is running a hands-on workshop where you build the answer on your own machine. We'll serve lunch and then you'll build a custom support-escalation MCP server in TypeScript (Express, Streamable HTTP), and lock down both the server and everything it touches with Keycard, end to end. You'll leave having built a server with three tools: Read support tickets, where the user's identity is swapped for a read-only credential so no standing key ever sits in your serverEscalate to engineering, where an LLM scrubs the PII before posting a clean issue to Linear using a write-scoped credentialDelete an escalation, which asks for a scope your policy refuses to grant What you'll learn: Why standing secrets are the real risk in agentic systems, and how to build them so your server never holds oneHow to give each tool exactly the access it needs, and nothing moreHow to trace every hop of an agent delegation chain in a complete audit trailHow to set policy that blocks an over-permissioned action Bring a laptop with Node and npm, a GitHub account, and your local coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Copilot). TypeScript familiarity is strongly preferred. You'll walk out with a governed escalation server you built, and a clear pattern for securing every agent you ship next. Join us if you're building MCP servers or agentic systems and want to learn how to control access to your server and the resources behind it.
