Revoke a Turnkey agent's API key before it expires with tk through a non-root revoker user scoped to an explicit set of agent users. Use when you want to revoke a key after a scoped task is complete or when a credential may have leaked; not for routine key rotation or for deleting a whole user.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Revoking agent keys Expiry is the main control on an agent's key. Turnkey does not know when a task ends, so nothing revokes a key on its own; `api-key delete` revokes it at once. Revoke through a scoped revoker user, never with root: root signs only to create the revoker and its policy. ## Reference - [resources](../../docs/resources.md): `user`, `user tag`, `api-key`, and `policy create` records and flags. - [authentication](../../docs/authentication.md): `profile create` and `whoami` records. - [activities](../../docs/activities.md): `activity get` and `policy evaluations` on a refused or pending delete. ## Rules - Deleting a local key file revokes nothing. Only `api-key delete` does. - Turnkey keeps one permanent credential per user. Deleting a user's last non-expiring key fails with `api_error` 400. A session agent keeps its anchor key, so deleting its session key succeeds. To cut a user off entirely, delete the user with [managing-identities](../managing-identities/SKILL.md). - Policy sees `activity.params.user_id` and `activity.params.api_key_ids` on `ACTIVITY_TYPE_DELETE_API_KEYS`, not the target's tags. The revoker ALLOW …

How to install
mdr add tkhq/tk/revoking-agent-keys@sha256:d2ad63238bccb6fcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.fd9d680, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
