No release since 22 May 2026, and the npm SDK is still 1.0.0 from September 2024.\n\n**Pulumi ESC.** An agent can start without a signup, because the Pulumi CLI creates a free ephemeral account that includes ESC, and the REST API has a public OpenAPI document. Audit logs, custom roles and approvals need the Pro edition at $400 a month, and no API rate limit was found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bitwarden Secrets Manager\n\n1. Create one machine account per agent with Can read on one project, and give its token an expiry date rather than the default of never\n2. Run the agent under `bws run -- \u003ccmd\u003e` so secrets arrive as environment variables and aren't written to disk or into the context\n3. Fetch with `bws secret list \u003cproject-id\u003e --output json` once per run; `bws secret get` needs the secret's UUID, not its name\n4. Set BWS_SERVER_URL for an EU organisation or a self-hosted server; the default is the US cloud\n5. Rotate the secret's value as well as revoking the token in an emergency, since a live session can read for up to an hour\n\n### Pulumi ESC\n\n1. Use `pulumi env`, not `esc`. The standalone CLI stopped at v0.26.0 and gets no security fixes\n2. Read one value with `pulumi env open \u003corg\u003e/\u003cproject\u003e/\u003cenv\u003e \u003cproperty path\u003e` so the whole environment doesn't enter context\n3. Run tools with `pulumi env run \u003cenv\u003e -- \u003ccmd\u003e`, which filters secret values from the command's output unless -i is set\n4. Set PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN for the SDKs. From 0.14.0 they no longer read the CLI login on disk\n5. Send `Authorization: token \u003ctoken\u003e` and `Accept: application/vnd.pulumi+8` on REST calls, and expect 409 when an environment changed since it was read\n6. Relay the claim link an agent account prints. The account goes read-only after 72 hours and locks after 30 days unclaimed\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Bitwarden Secrets Manager or Pulumi ESC?\n\nPulumi ESC scores 71.1 (BB) on agent readiness against Bitwarden Secrets Manager's 56.8 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
