Some tools require secrets like API keys or database passwords in order to be used correctly.
Only open source tools can request secrets
You can always inspect the code that you share your secrets with
If package code changes, your installation will be invalidated, so your agent will never run untrusted code with your secrets
Secrets are stored on an API keychain which only exposes secrets specifically requested by the tool, which is set by the developer.
To manage secrets, first find a package that requires secrets like PostgreSQL:

Click [ Install ]. If the package requires secrets, a new Keychain tab will appear:

Click this tab to view your API keychain.

Here you can save your secrets. If a secret is not required, just save the empty textbox. For example, in the PostgreSQL example above, PG_SSH_TUNNEL_URL and PG_SSH_TUNNEL_PRIVATE_KEY can be saved as empty strings if the connection URL does not require a proxy.
