| 1Password CLI for Agents |
|
|
| This skill allows agents to securely access and manage secrets using the 1Password CLI (op) and a Service Account. It provides commands for reading, writing, and managing items within a dedicated vault. |
|
|
| Prerequisites |
| Install 1Password CLI: |
| macOS: brew install --cask 1password-cli |
| Linux/Windows: See official docs. |
| Create a Service Account: |
| Go to 1Password Developer Portal. |
| Create a Service Account and grant it access to a specific vault (e.g., "Agent Vault"). |
| Copy the Service Account Token. |
| Set Environment Variable: |
| Set OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN in your environment (e.g., .env file or export in shell). |
| For OpenClaw, you can add OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN=... to .env. |
| Usage |
|
|
| All commands require the OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN to be set. |
| |
| 1. Check Authentication |
| |
| Verify the service account is working: |
| |
| op whoami |
| |
| 2. List Vaults |
| |
| List vaults accessible to the service account: |
| |
| op vault list |
| |
| 3. Read an Item |
| |
| Get details of an item (JSON format is best for parsing): |
| |
| op item get "Item Name" --vault "Vault Name" --format json |
| |
| |
| Or get a specific field (e.g., password): |
| |
| op read "op://Vault Name/Item Name/password" |
| |
| 4. Create an Item |
| |
| Create a login item: |
| |
| op item create --category login --title "My Service" --url "https://example.com" --vault "Vault Name" username="myuser" password="mypassword" |
| |
| |
| Create a secure note: |
| |
| op item create --category "Secure Note" --title "API Key" --vault "Vault Name" notes="my-secret-key" |
| |
| 5. Edit an Item |
| |
| Update a password: |
| |
| op item edit "Item Name" password="newpassword" --vault "Vault Name" |
| |
| 6. Delete an Item |
| op item delete "Item Name" --vault "Vault Name" |
| |
| Tips for Agents |
| Always use JSON output: Add --format json to op commands for structured data that is easier to parse. |
| Security: Never print the OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN or retrieved secrets to the console unless explicitly asked. |
| Vaults: If multiple vaults are available, specify the --vault flag to avoid ambiguity. |
| Rate Limits: Service accounts have rate limits. Cache results if possible or retry with backoff. |
| Troubleshooting |
| "You are not currently signed in": Ensure OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN is set correctly. |
| "account is not authorized": Check that the service account has permission for the specific vault and operation (read/write). |
