env

A command for storing and connecting Convex deployment environment variables, including secrets such as API keys. Environment variables are configuration values kept outside the source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set, inspect and read deployment configuration in Convex actions.
Why use it?
It keeps secrets out of code and version control, while allowing each deployment to have its own values.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

env scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Manage env vars + secrets

Store secrets as Convex deployment env vars (npx convex env set), read them with process.env in actions, never commit them.

Steps

  1. npx convex env set KEY value (per deployment).
  2. Read via process.env.KEY inside actions (not queries/mutations).
  3. Never hardcode or commit secrets; add to .env.local only for local.
  4. Confirm with npx convex env list.

Rules

  • Secrets live in Convex env vars, never in code or git.
  • process.env only in actions ('use node' if needed), not queries/mutations.
  • Different deployments need their own values.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

env is a command published in the GitHub repository get-convex/convex-agent-plugins (112 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 159 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
