4//! Zero-trust TTL-bounded permission grants for sub-agents.
5//!
6//! [`PermissionGrants`] tracks active grants (vault secrets or runtime tool access)
7//! for a running sub-agent. All grants are time-limited; expired grants are swept
8//! lazily by [`PermissionGrants::is_active`] and eagerly by
9//! [`PermissionGrants::sweep_expired`].
10//!
11//! Grants are revoked on drop and on agent completion/cancellation. Secret key names
12//! are never logged above DEBUG level; the `Display` impl for [`GrantKind::Secret`]
13//! always prints `"Secret(<redacted>)"`.

19/// Metadata sent by a sub-agent when it needs a secret from the vault.
20///
21/// Carried in an `InputRequired` A2A status update as structured metadata.
22/// The parent agent surfaces this to the user as an approval prompt; the user can
23/// then call [`SubAgentManager::approve_secret`][crate::SubAgentManager] or
24/// [`SubAgentManager::deny_secret`][crate::SubAgentManager].
25///
26/// # Examples
27///
28/// ```rust
29/// use zeph_subagent::grants::SecretRequest;
30///
31/// let req = SecretRequest {
32/// secret_key: "OPENAI_API_KEY".to_owned(),
33/// reason: Some("needed for embeddings".to_owned()),
34/// };
35/// assert_eq!(req.secret_key, "OPENAI_API_KEY");
36/// ```

38pub struct SecretRequest {
39 /// The vault key name the sub-agent is requesting.
40 pub secret_key: String,
41 /// Human-readable reason (shown to the user in the approval prompt).
42 pub reason: Option<String>,
43}
44
45/// Identifies the kind of permission that was granted to a sub-agent.
46///
47/// `GrantKind` is intentionally NOT serializable — grant metadata should never
48/// leave the in-memory security boundary. Key names are logged only at DEBUG
49/// level to avoid leaking grant enumeration to centralized log systems.
50///
51/// The [`Display`][std::fmt::Display] implementation always redacts `Secret` payloads,
52/// printing `Secret(<redacted>)` instead of the actual key name.
53///
54/// # Examples
55///
56/// ```rust
57/// use zeph_subagent::grants::GrantKind;
58///
59/// let secret = GrantKind::Secret("my-key".to_owned());
60/// assert!(!secret.to_string().contains("my-key"), "key must be redacted");
61///
62/// let tool = GrantKind::Tool("shell".to_owned());
63/// assert_eq!(tool.to_string(), "Tool(shell)");
