Managed rotation only covers Cloud SQL; other rotation is a Pub/Sub notification you handle.\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### Google Cloud Secret Manager\n\n1. Pin to a version number in production and use versions/latest only in development, since latest moves when anyone adds a version\n2. Grant roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor on the individual secret and add an IAM condition with an expiry for a short-lived agent\n3. Turn on Data Access audit logs for secretmanager.googleapis.com if you need a record of each read\n4. Read once per run and cache; accesses past 10,000 a month are metered\n5. Use a regional secret (projects/*/locations/*/secrets/*) when the data must stay in one place, and note the higher write quota there\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, Google Cloud Secret Manager or Pulumi ESC?\n\nGoogle Cloud Secret Manager scores 76.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Pulumi ESC's 71.1 (BB), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Pulumi ESC leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Google Cloud Secret Manager and Pulumi ESC need an API key?\n\nGoogle Cloud Secret Manager uses an OAuth sign-in. Pulumi ESC takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Google Cloud Secret Manager and Pulumi ESC without installing anything?\n\nYes. Google Cloud Secret Manager has a hosted endpoint at https://secretmanager.googleapis.com/v1 and Pulumi ESC at https://api.pulumi.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-secret-manager-vs-pulumi-esc.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-secret-manager-vs-pulumi-esc.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"google-secret-manager\", \"b\": \"pulumi-esc\"}`.
