SecretRef Credential Surface

SecretRef credential surface

This page defines the canonical SecretRef credential surface.

Scope intent:

  • In scope: strictly user-supplied credentials that OpenClaw does not mint or rotate.
  • Out of scope: runtime-minted or rotating credentials, OAuth refresh material, and session-like artifacts.

Supported credentials

openclaw.json targets (secrets configure + secrets apply + secrets audit)

  • models.providers.*.apiKey
  • skills.entries.*.apiKey
  • agents.defaults.memorySearch.remote.apiKey
  • agents.list[].memorySearch.remote.apiKey
  • talk.apiKey
  • talk.providers.*.apiKey
  • messages.tts.elevenlabs.apiKey
  • messages.tts.openai.apiKey
  • tools.web.search.apiKey
  • tools.web.search.gemini.apiKey
  • tools.web.search.grok.apiKey
  • tools.web.search.kimi.apiKey
  • tools.web.search.perplexity.apiKey
  • gateway.auth.password
  • gateway.remote.token
  • gateway.remote.password
  • cron.webhookToken
  • channels.telegram.botToken
  • channels.telegram.webhookSecret
  • channels.telegram.accounts.*.botToken
  • channels.telegram.accounts.*.webhookSecret
  • channels.slack.botToken
  • channels.slack.appToken
  • channels.slack.userToken

  • channels.discord.voice.tts.elevenlabs.apiKey
  • channels.discord.voice.tts.openai.apiKey
  • channels.discord.accounts.*.token
  • channels.discord.accounts.*.pluralkit.token
  • channels.discord.accounts.*.voice.tts.elevenlabs.apiKey
  • channels.discord.accounts.*.voice.tts.openai.apiKey
  • channels.irc.password
  • channels.irc.nickserv.password
  • channels.irc.accounts.*.password
  • channels.irc.accounts.*.nickserv.password
  • channels.bluebubbles.password
  • channels.bluebubbles.accounts.*.password
  • channels.feishu.appSecret
  • channels.feishu.verificationToken
  • channels.feishu.accounts.*.appSecret
  • channels.feishu.accounts.*.verificationToken
  • channels.msteams.appPassword
  • channels.mattermost.botToken
  • channels.mattermost.accounts.*.botToken
  • channels.matrix.password
  • channels.matrix.accounts.*.password
  • channels.nextcloud-talk.botSecret
  • channels.nextcloud-talk.apiPassword
  • channels.nextcloud-talk.accounts.*.botSecret
  • channels.nextcloud-talk.accounts.*.apiPassword
  • channels.zalo.botToken
  • channels.zalo.webhookSecret
  • channels.zalo.accounts.*.botToken
  • channels.zalo.accounts.*.webhookSecret
  • channels.googlechat.serviceAccount via sibling serviceAccountRef (compatibility exception)
  • channels.googlechat.accounts.*.serviceAccount via sibling serviceAccountRef (compatibility exception)

auth-profiles.json targets (secrets configure + secrets apply + secrets audit)

  • profiles.*.keyRef (type: "api_key")
  • profiles.*.tokenRef (type: "token")

Notes:

  • Auth-profile plan targets require agentId.
  • Plan entries target profiles.*.key / profiles.*.token and write sibling refs (keyRef / tokenRef).
  • Auth-profile refs are included in runtime resolution and audit coverage.
  • For web search:
    • In explicit provider mode (tools.web.search.provider set), only the selected provider key is active.
    • In auto mode (tools.web.search.provider unset), tools.web.search.apiKey and provider-specific keys are active.

Unsupported credentials

Out-of-scope credentials include:

  • gateway.auth.token
  • commands.ownerDisplaySecret
  • channels.matrix.accessToken
  • channels.matrix.accounts.*.accessToken
  • hooks.token
  • hooks.gmail.pushToken
  • hooks.mappings[].sessionKey
  • auth-profiles.oauth.*
  • discord.threadBindings.*.webhookToken
  • whatsapp.creds.json

Rationale:

  • These credentials are minted, rotated, session-bearing, or OAuth-durable classes that do not fit read-only external SecretRef resolution.
