Why
A provider test console can easily become a credential-exfiltration tool or accidentally make live charges. Security constraints must be designed before UI implementation.
Scope
- Load credentials only from server-side secret stores/environment.
- Add explicit Mock/Sandbox/Live mode policy; disable Live by default.
- Require authentication and authorization for hosted/non-local deployments.
- Add rate limits, anti-forgery protections, secure headers, and audit logs.
- Redact request/response data and define retention.
