# Quickstart

> Bring your first agent under governance in four steps.

This guide walks you from a fresh workspace to an agent that authenticates with Keydris and operates under a policy you control. You can complete every step from the web console.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a policy">
    Open **Policy Builder** and select **Create Policy**. Choose what the policy governs: tool calls (actions), payments, or both. Add your rules, set the decision for anything that does not match a rule, and save. Keydris compiles the policy to a Rego module and stores it.

    See [Build a policy](/guides/build-a-policy) for a full walkthrough.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Store any secrets the agent needs">
    If your agent calls a service that requires an API key, open the **Vault** and add the secret. Keydris encrypts the value and returns a token. Reference the token in your policy rules so the agent never handles the plaintext.

    See [Vault](/features/vault).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Issue a KIT for the agent">
    Open **Key Management** and select **Issue KIT**. Name the agent, pick its environment, and attach the policy from step one. Keydris generates a single-use key the agent exchanges at the authorization webhook.

    See [Issue a KIT](/guides/issue-a-kit).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect the agent">
    Give the agent the single-use key and the authorization webhook shown on the final step. The agent presents the key once to complete authorization, then operates under the attached policy. Every request it makes is recorded.

    Watch it work under **Audit Logs**.
  </Step>
</Steps>
