A provider is a third-party service that Agentity calls on your behalf to provision an identity channel. You supply your own API key for each provider you want to use. Agentity uses that key when you request the corresponding channel during identity creation.

How provider keys work

Setting a provider API key does not provision anything. It gives Agentity permission to call that provider on your behalf when you later create an identity that includes the corresponding asset. When you request an asset — for example, by passing email to create_agent_identity — Agentity fetches your stored key for AgentMail, decrypts it, and uses it to create the inbox. If no key is stored for that provider, the request fails.
Provider API keys are encrypted before storage. Agentity never stores them in plaintext.
