AI agents should not have hard-coded credentials in topics

Why This Matters

When AI agents contain hard-coded credentials, API keys, or secrets, those values are exposed within the agent topic definitions. This creates a security risk because anyone with access to the agent can view or extract sensitive information. Replacing these credentials with secure alternatives prevents unauthorized access and data breaches.
