Formal uses OIDC to control cloud agents' production access

Formal uses OIDC to give cloud coding agents access to production data and cloud infrastructure without handing out long-lived credentials, reported on Hacker News. Access runs through an auditable, policy-controlled process, production access stays read-only, and human approval is required. An agent can request short-term database permission through Slack; once approved, the grant is limited to a specific session and database, and request logs tie the agent to the engineer who asked.
