AgentVault Documentation
AgentVault packages your AI agent, deploys it to an Internet Computer canister, and keeps it running with its own durable identity, multi-chain wallet, encrypted secrets, and versioned memory. This is the full reference for installing, deploying, operating, and securing it in production.
Production use requires a funded ICP identity and cycles balance, plus secure handling of your wallet mnemonic. See Installation for setup details.

The agent stack
AgentVault is the runtime layer of a small family of tools built for long-running, autonomous agents: a durable place to execute (AgentVault), a cheap and deterministic way to pick the next action (SmallChat), a passive conversational memory (Stenographer), and a way to keep that memory inside a token budget (Short-Hand). AgentVault already ships a purpose-built implementation of the SmallChat tool-dispatch pattern in its orchestration layer.
