Browserbase's Secrets feature lets hosted browser Functions authenticate with other services without embeddingA list of numbers representing a piece of text's meaning, so that similar meanings end up numerically close and can be searched.Full definition → credentials in their source code or passing them with every invocation. A developer stores a credential in the project, attaches it to a particular Function, and the Function receives its value at runtime through context windowThe maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.Full definition →.secrets. The release announcement describes access as limited to explicitly attached secrets.
This supports workflows that continue beyond the browser, such as collecting information from a customer portal and then updating a customer record through an API. Developers can inspect which secrets are attached without retrieving their values, and detach access when it is no longer needed.
