Official description

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From praisonai 4.6.34 until 4.6.58, praisonai serve agents accepts --api-key but _create_agents_app() does not authenticate POST /agents or POST /agents/{agent_name}. A network caller can invoke configured agents without credentials even when an API key was supplied. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.
