Using Secrets in Agents

Secrets are injected as environment variables when your agent executes:

Python Example

import os

def call_external_api():
    # Secret is injected as environment variable
    api_key = os.environ.get("MY_API_KEY")
    
    if not api_key:
        raise ValueError("MY_API_KEY not configured")
    
    # Use the API key
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"}
    response = requests.get("https://api.example.com", headers=headers)
    return response.json()

Referencing Secrets in Agent Config

In your agent configuration, specify which secrets to inject:

Field	Description
Secret Name	The name of the secret in your Vault
Environment Variable	The env var name your code expects

Best Practices

Use descriptive names (e.g., SLACK_BOT_TOKEN not TOKEN1)
Rotate secrets regularly
Use service accounts instead of personal API keys
Delete unused secrets
Never print secret values in agent code
