Security: Each Manus API key provides full access to your Manus account and can start tasks that spend your credits — only connect a key from an account whose usage you're comfortable with, and revoke it any time from the same Manus API settings page. The key is stored encrypted in Vault and injected only at your agent's runtime — never written to disk or logs.
