Credentials on demand
Request Tailscale credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.
Access for the right subject
Keep app-scoped Tailscale access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.
Centralized credential management
Manage Tailscale credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.
Vercel-native controls
Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
