◆ Current state
Infisical released v0.167.9 and v0.167.10 on November 13. v0.167.9 is a large release: Agent Vault adds service discovery, service descriptions, a built-in skill, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SSH services, MCP templates for six more providers and services packaged into access bundles. It also publishes KMS public keys as a JWKS, pins outbound connections to validated IPs and applies approval policies to certificate renewals. v0.167.10 lets users request a narrower path inside a glob access policy.
◆ Where it's heading
Agent Vault, Infisical's credential broker for AI agents, gets new capability in nearly every release, moving from proxy tokens and MCP allowlists toward a catalog of services agents can discover and reach. Alongside it, the PKI, KMS and access-request features keep filling enterprise gaps. Releases come every two to four days.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Agent Vault service types and MCP templates, and access bundles to become the main way Agent Vault permissions are granted.

◆ Prediction
Unclear from these entries; more dependency patch releases are the only pattern visible.
