How It Works

Vell uses cross-account IAM roles to securely access your marketplace data without storing credentials:

graph LR
    A[Your AWS Account] -->|IAM Role| B[Vell Platform]
    B -->|AssumeRole with External ID| A
    A -->|Marketplace Data| B

Security Benefits

1. No Credentials Stored - Vell never has access to your AWS access keys
2. External ID Validation - Prevents confused deputy attacks
3. Least Privilege - Only marketplace API permissions granted
4. Fully Revocable - Delete the IAM role anytime to revoke access
5. Auditable - Full CloudFormation template transparency

FAQs

Do you store my AWS credentials?

No. Vell uses temporary session credentials obtained through IAM role assumption. We never have access to your long-term AWS access keys.

Can you modify my marketplace listings?

No. The IAM role only has read-only permissions for AWS Marketplace APIs. We cannot create, modify, or delete any AWS resources.

How do I revoke access?

Simply delete the CloudFormation stack or use the "Revoke Access" button in your Vell dashboard. Access is revoked immediately.

Is this secure?

Yes. This follows AWS security best practices and is the same method used by major SaaS platforms like Datadog, New Relic, and CloudHealth.

Importing your listings (sync_marketplace_listings)

Once a Cloud Connector is verified, the sync_marketplace_listings capability imports your existing marketplace listings into Vellocity's Product catalog so other capabilities (content generation, listing optimization, predictions, co-sell matching) can operate on real listing data.

Field	Detail
Capability slug	sync_marketplace_listings
Credit cost	0 credits — no AI; pure API calls against the connected marketplace
Required parameters	marketplace (aws, azure, or gcp), company_id
Backing model	App\Models\Product (one row per imported listing)
Returns	synced_count (rows inserted/updated) and the raw listings payload

When it runs. The platform schedules a sync after a connector verifies for the first time, and exposes the capability for manual re-syncs from the agent runtime. Trigger a manual run when you've made listing changes in the AWS console and want them reflected in Vellocity without waiting for the next scheduled sync.

Marketplace coverage today. AWS Marketplace is fully supported; Azure and GCP are roadmap.

Partner API access. Scope a Partner API key with manage_cloud_connections and sync_marketplace_listings to trigger syncs programmatically. See Partner API Capabilities.
