What it does

“Configure OAuth, API-key, and service-account credentials on Vectara agent tools using agent.secrets, session.metadata, and $ref. Includes web_get native OAuth, dynamic tool addition, and the eager-ref resolution model.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

Configure authentication for Vectara agent tools using OAuth, API keys, and service-account credentials via agent.secrets, session.metadata, and $ref substitution. Supports web_get native OAuth modes including client-credentials and refresh-token flows, with platform-cached token management and dynamic tool addition without agent recreation.

When to use it

  • Agent calls external APIs requiring OAuth, API keys, or bearer tokens
  • Per-user credentials need to flow into specific chat sessions
  • Service-account credentials shared across all agent sessions
  • Tools must be added or removed without recreating the agent

When not to

  • Only need corpus search or unauthenticated tools; use vectara-agents instead
  • Storing highly sensitive data in session.metadata without encryption masking
