Amp's Orbs can now authenticate to external services using OIDC, eliminating injected secrets. Tokens include custom claims (workspace_id, project_id, user_id, thread_id, email) and are short-lived and scoped. Example shows GCP granting read access to production logs based on orb identity.

Concrete, reproducible pattern for secretless agent-to-cloud auth with auditable identity claims. Useful reference for anyone wiring AI agents into production infrastructure.
