How to audit environment SDK keys with your AI

Connect DevCycle to your AI client to scan your projects for SDK key consistency. Your agent handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the audit.

Short answer

How can I audit my DevCycle SDK keys using AI?

Your AI client pulls your project list and environment details to compare SDK keys. You'll get a clear view of which environments are using which keys without manual clicking. This makes spotting leaked or mismatched keys much faster.

Audit outcomes

Where your audit data lands.

The AI organizes the DevCycle data into these specific views.

INVENTORY

Project and environment maps

The AI uses your project data to build a complete list of every environment you're running. You get a clear map of your entire DevCycle footprint.

SECURITY

SDK key verification

Your agent pulls the specific keys for each environment. You can immediately see if a production key is being used where it shouldn't be.

DISCREPANCIES

Flagged key mismatches

The AI identifies environments that share keys or use outdated ones. It highlights these gaps so you can fix them.

HUMAN

Manual key rotation

The AI identifies the problems, but you must perform the actual key rotation in the DevCycle dashboard. It won't change your credentials for you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The AI performs the heavy lifting of traversing your DevCycle hierarchy.

  1. Map your projects

    The AI scans your account to find every active DevCycle project you own.

    list_devcycle_projects

  2. Identify environments

    Once projects are found, the AI looks inside each one to list every environment.

    list_project_environments

  3. Extract SDK keys

    The agent pulls the specific SDK keys tied to those environments for comparison.

    get_environment_sdk_keys

  4. Analyze for errors

    The AI compares the retrieved keys against your audit rules to find inconsistencies.

    get_environment_sdk_keys

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my SDK keys?

    No. The AI can only read and retrieve your environment data and keys. You have to manually update or rotate keys in DevCycle.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new DevCycle projects?

    No. The current tools only allow the AI to list projects, environments, and keys.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my secret keys?

    Yes, the AI retrieves the SDK keys so it can perform the audit you requested. It uses this data to find mismatches.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which project to look at?

    You tell the AI which project to check in your prompt, or it can list all of them first to give you an overview.

  • 05

    Can I use this with Cursor or Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client, you can use this with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.
